Rhonda Yates is a horror screenwriter and emerging filmmaker based in Indianapolis, Indiana, US. Her work focuses on existential and psychological horror, exploring themes of fractured identity, distorted perception, memory manipulation, and the instability of the human mind.

Her screenplays FED, LEGION, and PROTOCOL have received recognition from multiple international festivals and competitions, including the Days of the Dead Film Festival, the INROADS Screenwriting Fellowship, the Cinema Royale Paris Edition Festival, and 13Horror.com. In 2026, she also completed production on her first short film adaptation of LEGION.

Influenced by atmospheric and psychologically driven horror, Yates is drawn to stories that blur the boundary between internal fear and external reality. Her work aims to create lingering unease while examining the emotional and existential vulnerabilities that define human experience.
