I write big, booming Action features - across many genres, including Thriller, Comedy, Sci-Fi, Suspense, and Kaiju.
I'm from Indianapolis, I was a theater and speech team jock in high school. I got a film degree from Northwestern, then I moved to San Francisco to become a rock star. I had pretty fun run, played the Fillmore a couple of times, opened a few shows for Bowie.

I started naming things for a living ( www.Gunnion.com ), and then moved up into the wine country of Sonoma County. After a successful 20-year career in branding and naming products and companies for clients around the world, I've been writing screenplays for the last few years.

I currently have seven complete original spec screenplays that I'd love to get into development - or use as writing samples. Please drop me a line at markgunnion@gmail.com if you'd like to read one.

My old band played the Fillmore twice and we were once played on Dr. Demento.
