Can you believe we haven't talked to a horror writer yet? Well, we fixed that ... meet Seth Sherwood.
Sadie Dean and Jeanne Veillette Bowerman talk with Emmy-nominated horror writer/director Seth Sherwood about the 10 years it took for him to break in, the challenges and joys of writing horror, tips for newbies wanting to break in, and so much more!
Seth Sherwood's Full Bio:
Seth M Sherwood is an Emmy-nominated Los Angeles-based screenwriter, director, designer, and producer. His feature screenwriting credits include Leatherface for Millennium/Lion’s Gate and Hellfest for Valhalla/CBS Films. He also provided uncredited on-set script work for London Has Fallen. On the TV side, Seth has staffed on two teen-horror shows with Awesomeness TV: The Unsettling and Light as a Feather for Hulu. He’s also written for the forthcoming Wytches for Amazon. He has developed original pilots with Amblin TV, Valhalla Entertainment, and Universal.
In the 90s Seth was a Pacific NW art-kid who made zines out of Fangoria magazines at Kinkos and was an early adopter of Apple products, (and now they’ve trapped him.) He hopes to some day pay off his student loans. If he died tomorrow he would be survived by several bottles of anti-anxiety meds.
He’s also still looking for somebody to invite him to their D&D group.
