Silas started writing in eighth grade after his English teacher suggested he work on a screenplay for a class project. He did - and it sucked. Since then, he's studied screenwriting and written a number of increasingly visceral pilots and feature films, drawing from a massive list of pulp influences ranging from Ed Brubaker, Richard Stark, Don Pendleton, & Max Allan Collins. The words of a writing partner sum up his style perfectly: "If there's no 'blood, meat, & skull fragments', it's not a Silas Dunn
script." Silas currently lives in Pacific Grove, CA, where he writes/directs action short films with a growing number of incredibly talented filmmakers.
