Seth M. Sherwood is a Los Angeles based screenwriter, director, designer, and producer. He is a credited writer on Leatherface, and Hellfest and is serving as Co-Executive Producer on season 2 of Light As A Feather for Awesomeness TV & Hulu. He has feature and television projects in development across town. Sherwood's tale of the son of serial killer hot on the trail of a copycat killer, Interstate 5, appeared on the list, bringing him to the attention of industry execs looking for the next hot genre writer. Seth has penned a prequel to the original 1974 classic horror film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a highly anticipated origin tale entitled Leatherface from Millennium Films. Sherwood has lived in Los Angeles for the past 16 years. He grew up in the Pacific North West, and started writing short stories as an undergraduate majoring in photography and design. He then attended graduate school at Cal Arts, focusing exclusively on prose writing. The move to Los Angeles convinced him he should try his hand at screenplays. In grad school he wrote two or three screenplays. “They were those two or three you just have to write to get it out of your system. They're never going to be any good, but you have to write them to get them out of the way, so you can start to know your craft better.” After graduating Sherwood worked as an in-house graphic designer for various companies. He continued to write, but rarely circulated his work. “I was very shy and I wasn't necessarily a great networker. I was writing but I wasn't putting it out there.” After six years he finally wrote a script he was confident enough to go out with, and even then his engagement with the industry was sporadic. Sherwood had some success with the Nicholl prize as a quarter-finalist which spurred him to continue writing. He wrote Interstate 5 which appeared on the Black List, and was introduced by a mutual friend to independent manager/producer Kailey Marsh. When Millennium was looking for a new writer to pen Leatherface, they approached Sherwood, who ultimately landed the gig. To Sherwood, the key to success as a screenwriter is to be prolific. “It's a number game. You have to have lots of scripts. I can't even imagine going out there to the industry without at least two or three finished scripts, maybe even four. Nine times out of 10 they read your script, they love it, but they're still not going to make it. They're going to either want you to pitch on their idea or they're gonna ask you what else you have or what else you're working on, and if you only have one idea, that's going to be a really short meeting.” Sherwood's advice to new writers? Focus on the writing, and success will follow. “If I could have all the time back that I spent worrying about finding an agent, I'd be very fortunate. It should not be a goal for new screenwriters. I was one of those people who had one script and spent a year wishing I had an agent for that one script, when really I should have been spending that time writing more scripts. Before Leatherface happened I had three or four agents interested in me, but they basically didn't want to do anything with me until I had a deal, then once Leatherface happened, all of a sudden I had my pick.” Sherwood now has his pick of projects too, and we look forward to seeing Leatherface tear up the screen in Sherwood's new vision. https://twitter.com/SethMSherwood https://sethmsherwood.substack.com/ Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Entertainment Business Wisdom.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me with Leatherface '17 screenwriter Seth M. Sherwood For our newest episode, Jinx welcomes Seth M. Sherwood to the show.  The screenwriter of the upcoming Texas Chain Saw prequel Leatherface,  Mr. Sherwood has picked David Lynch’s 1992 film Twin Peaks:  Fire Walk With Me to chat about this week. An underappreciated gem which acts as a prequel to Lynch’s iconic television series, Fire Walk With Me inspires a discussion which touches on the film’s chilly critical reception, why it absolutely qualifies as a horror film, and the film’s standing amongst Lynch’s other films.  Along the way we discuss the film’s most terrifying moments, its impressive continuity with the TV series, and why it’s not a movie meant for grandmothers. Here’s hoping you enjoy this fun chat with an excellent guest! Amazon Links:

You don't have to be an aficionado of the horror film genre to appreciate the tale of Seth M. Sherwood. Seth seemingly came out of nowhere to be tapped as the writer for the forthcoming prequel to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise entitled "Leatherface." Listen to how an early love for sci-fi and comics led to him pursuing a life in the visual and graphic arts, until the yearning to be a true storyteller became too great to ignore. To become a writer took years of toil, focus, and sacrifice, but all that effort seems to be paying off. Learn how a passion for Blade Runner, an appreciation for Devo and the repurposing of childhood Dungeons & Dragon skills (listen up, nerds!) have landed Seth on Hollywood's Blood List, on the radar of some high-profile filmmakers, as well as under the microscope of the genre's very vocal fandom - for better or worse. This is a chilling tale through the harrowing shadows of Tinseltown (it's not that scary, but it sounds good) with a few good splatters of snark but a little short on monkeys.
