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.
