Up and Coming Screenwriters

Screenwriters who have not yet made films that have been shown in theaters or sold on video are listed on the Up and Coming Filmmakers page.
Most of the films listed are mainstream productions, but films and videos made for the Latter-day Saint market, as well as Church-commissioned films and videos, are listed as well.

Television series credits are listed in purple.

This is not a complete list, but it has all of the information we have at this time.


For more films by LDS screenwriters, also see "Directors" section. Neil LaBute, Richard Dutcher, Kieth Merrill, Lino Brocka, Richard Rich and many others have written many or all of the films they have directed.
