Hunter Davis Bio: After countless late night sessions, 10,000+ hours of discovery, and the occasional satisfying breakthrough, Hunter has learned one limited, but potentially useful skill...how to write a likable screenplay. Heavily influenced by the nostalgic original cinema of the 80's & 90's, Hunter specializes in commercially viable action thrillers infused with premium dialogue, elevated suspense, and wildly unpredictable twists. Over the course of his aspiring career, Hunter has won a variety of screenplay contests, received top coverage scores, and earned placement on The Red List. Hunter currently has multiple scripts under option, including his sci-fi/action spec, The Drome, now under option with studio producer, Lucas Foster (Ford vs. Ferrari, Law Abiding Citizen, Bad Boys). As a recognized dialogue specialist, Hunter guarantees you'll enjoy his signature authentic character exchanges or you can slap him directly in the face. (One hit, medium strength.)
