After a 15 year career in Marketing and Advertising, Cearley is pursuing his life-long goal in Film and TV writing and production. In 2021 he completed his first pilot, a 1-hour thriller/horror limited series titled, "The Raging." Currently working on his first feature based on a story idea by the Duffer Brothers, as well as his next TV pilot thriller based on a classic short story that recently hit the public domain.
While the first outings lean in the horror and thriller genres, as well as tinged with Spielbergian 80's nostalgia, Cearley's style seeks to subvert genre. "I'm more interested in blurring the lines between audience expectations and showing them something new." - Cearley, 2022
Interested in Script Reading and Coverage opportunities, and Writing opportunities. Cearley hopes to network with writers, producers, film-makers, agents, and more here - hoping to find like-minded creatives looking to do BIG THINGS with BIG IDEAS.
The Raging Budget: $100K - $1M | Thriller ⋄ Horror A rebellious teen must protect a group of people as they hole up in a shelter during a category five hurricane while a murderous stowaway with a mysterious connection to her stalks them.
