Davey Porter, 49, is an award-winning filmmaker who has produced three feature films, including Happy Endings Sleepover (based on the bestseller by gay youth author, Cade Jay Hathaway); Last Flight of The Cosmonaut; and the non-fiction feature, The Boles Murders, where through the film, Porter and his team were able to stimulate the reopening of a 40-year-old unsolved homicide. The victims were an entire family and their dog. The Boles Murders won the prestigious 2004 June Lockhart Award for Special Achievement in Film. Davey Porter also produced three seasons of Nanna's Cottage, a half-hour Saturday morning children's television program which remains in worldwide syndication.
Davey Porter entered the motion picture business as a writer of episodic network television and small, independent feature motion pictures. One of his screenplays, Extreme Champions, was optioned by Disney, which led to a first-look deal with Disney for screenplays and story ideas.
During the massive wild-land fires of 2003, Porter was an on-scene news source for the Associated Press and a number of electronic news organizations. Porter's own home was burned to the ground when the 'Old Fire' made its way through Cedar Glen near Lake Arrowhead. As a result of his on-the-scene presence during the fire, Tor-Forge Publishing in New York, a division/imprint of St. Martin's Press, signed Porter to a book deal. Porter's non-fiction account of the Southern California wild-land fires, Hell on Earth, was published in the summer of 2006.
Davey Porter writes and produces The Johnnie & Sander Stories, a one-hour streaming series that continues the Happy Endings Sleepover Cade Jay Hathaway novels. The series, which is produced in Denmark, Poland, and the UK, will debut on Amazon in the fall of 2022. He is happily married to his wife, Karen, who is an award-winning theatrical costume designer. He divides his time between Oregon and Denmark.
