James Tuverson - Screenwriter, Storyteller, Creator of Bold Worlds
James Tuverson is a multiple award-winning screenwriter with a fearless voice and a deep love for complex, emotionally resonant storytelling. His screenplays-spanning psychological thrillers, dark comedy, and sweeping animated fantasy-are united by a common thread: bold characters pushed to the edge, digging deep to find redemption, self-worth, or the light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes all three.
A former WGA screenwriter and screenwriting instructor, Tuverson has spent years honing his craft from both the page and the podium. After stepping away from Hollywood to regain creative clarity, he returned with renewed purpose and a laser focus on producing meaningful, unforgettable work.
His original features include My Dirty Secrets, a coming-of-age psychological thriller that placed at the Flickers' Rhode Island Film Festival and the Palm Springs Diversity Screenplay Contest; The Hours Before, a tense two-hander and Fade In Drama Awards semi-finalist; The McSatans, an unholy marriage of horror and dark comedy (also a Flickers' Finalist); and The Viking Way, a family-friendly animated epic with franchise potential. Each story dives headfirst into emotionally charged territory-gritty, grounded, and crafted for impact.
In the short form world, Tuverson has written and produced multiple films, including Mother's Day, Heart Says It All, Is This Real?, and Zombies Take the Schoolyard. His work has screened at festivals across the U.S. and continues to garner recognition for its daring subject matter and narrative precision.
James doesn't write safe stories. He writes the ones that stick with you-the ones that start a conversation, rattle the soul, or sneak up on you when you least expect it. With more than 30 accolades under his belt and several scripts in active circulation, he's now focused on forging production partnerships and getting bold, director-friendly projects onto the screen.
