About The Author
S. Craig Zahler
S. Craig Zahler is an award-winning screenwriter, director, novelist, cinematographer, and musician. He wrote, directed, and co-composed the score for the 2015 film BONE TOMAHAWK, an Independent Spirit Award nominated picture (Best Screenplay; Best Supporting Actor) starring Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Fox, and Richard Jenkins. Zahler more recently wrote and directed BRAWL IN CELL BLOCK 99, a New York Times Critic’s Pick, starring Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Carpenter, and Don Johnson, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival and also went on to critical acclaim. Both movies were added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in 2017. Mel Gibson, Vince Vaughn, and Tory Kittles star in Zahler’s crime drama DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE.
Zahler’s debut western novel, A Congregation of Jackals, was nominated for the Peacemaker and the Spur awards, and his 2014 novels Mean Business on North Ganson Street and Corpus Chrome, Inc. both received starred reviews for excellence in Booklist. His newest book is Hug Chickenpenny- The Panegyric of an Anomalous Child, a gothic tale that he will bring to the silver screen with the help of his creative partners, The Jim Henson Company. After reading this strange story, Clive Baker declared, “S. Craig Zahler is certain to become one of the great imaginers of our time.”
In addition to writing and directing, Zahler has founded and played in several bands, including the doomy epic metal outfit Realmbuilder. With longtime friend and songwriting partner Jeff Herriott, S. Craig Zahler co-composed the orchestral score for BONE TOMAHAWK, and the soul music for BRAWL IN CELL BLOCK 99 and DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE as well as the jazz compositions for the latter. Zahler and Herriott also make music as Binary Reptile, a synthesizer project that provided the music for the ear movie, THE NARROW CAVES.
