Screenwriter

Writing is all about the thrill of building worlds and creating characters. Having those “AHA” moments that have me hoping out of my chair in excitement because I found that missing to piece my narrative puzzle. Finding that sweet spot in a character’s dialogue and all the other elements that go into telling a story that leaves audiences entertained and talking.

After all that? It’s also about sitting down and figuring out how to make it better.

Writing comes from a uniquely human place. My life experiences intertwined with imagination. A way for others to get a glimpse at who I am through the stories I write, but in the end, it's not about me, it's about the story. No ego. No attitude. Just the desire to tell the best story possible.

Originally from Southwest Georgia, John Prescott moved to Atlanta in 2005. After getting settled into the big city life, John focused on school. This lead him to attend the Art Institute of Atlanta for Digital Film and Video Production where he discovered his passion for screenwriting.

Within his first year at the Art Institute, John managed to hammer out his first feature film Pound, a witty, modern-day, crime film adapted from Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice." More screenplays were to follow over the next few years.

In 2010, John won at Campus Movie Fest, for both Best Picture for his short film Oversight and Most Popular for the short Roman in which John worked with Travis Young from ABC's Resurrection and Daniel May from The Walking Dead.

In 2022, John’s first feature film Red Winter was released to streaming.

John currently freelances for Tycor Films but is always on the lookout for more opportunities!
