Will's bio: 

Will has more than 15 years' experience writing for film and television. Originally from Missouri, he spent his first several years in Los Angeles haunting the halls of UCLA, graduating from both the Professional and MFA Programs. Will has sold or optioned material to Sony, Universal, Disney, Paramount, Blumhouse, Davis Entertainment, Automatik Entertainment, Crypt TV and Original Films. His script Flashback, written when he was still in grad school, was featured on the annual Blacklist. Will's feature credits include The Hive, Bloodline and Escape Room: Tournament of Champions, and Blood, directed by Brad Anderson and starring Michelle Monaghan. On the television side, Will sold his original pilot, Reset, to NBC. In addition to his solo work, Will adapted the novel Verity for Amazon Studios with his writing partner, April Maguire. The two of them also sold an original thriller series to NBC and a scary kids movie to Disney. Their original sci-fi movie Subservience, directed by SK Dale and starring Megan Fox, reached number one on Netflix, and their original horror script Confinement is slated to begin production this fall. Currently, they're in development on several projects, including Wolf Night, an original horror movie which sold to Screen Gems and is being produced by Platinum Dunes.
