Paul Alan Gober is a visceral storyteller and the architect behind the Dead East universe. Specializing in grounded, high-concept horror, Paul creates "ready-to-shoot" franchises that explore human struggle against impossible, world-altering odds.
His breakout pilot script, "Nippon Flight 319," has dominated the 2026 international circuit, winning Best Television Horror Screenplay at the Golden State Film Festival (TCL Chinese Theatre). The project is a Finalist at the Oxford Script Awards, the London Best Script Awards (Spring 2026), and the Indie Vegas Film Festival, and an Official Nominee at the Toronto International Short Film Awards.
A prolific creator with a "showrunner" mindset, Paul doesn't just write pilots; he builds worlds. He has already completed the full 10-episode inaugural season for the Dead East series, based on his original novel Dead East: Devil May Replace Me. Whether at 30,000 feet or on the blood-stained streets of a global apocalypse, Paul’s work is defined by intense claustrophobia, cinematic realism, and a relentless focus on the human heartbeat at the center of the nightmare.
