About

Craig Houchin is a Los Angeles-based screenwriter and thirty-year advertising film producer whose clients have included Coca-Cola, Toyota, McDonald's, Nike, HBO, Disney, United Airlines and Chevrolet, among many others.

Over the past seven years he has also written and edited nearly a hundred director treatments, work that has given his screenwriting an unusually disciplined command of visual storytelling, narrative economy and commercial instinct.

His feature screenplay Ludlow won the 2012 Final Draft Big Break Feature Grand Prize and was subsequently optioned. Three of his five feature screenplays have been optioned by producers, and his border-country drama Stonelands is in independent development. His work ranges from period horror (The Skraeling Beast) to contemporary crime (Meltdown, Saint Marti) to the 1970s road movie, reflecting a writer equally at home in genre and in intimate human stories.

He holds a BA in Film and Television from UCLA.
