Theo Davies

Originally from England, I relocated to California in 2009, where I live with my wife and two sons.

In 2012, I directed the micro-budget independent film, '5 Hour Friends'. The film won multiple awards and was distributed domestically by Gravitas Ventures and by Paramount Pictures worldwide.

In 2017, I wrote, directed and co-produced 'Wish Man' - a biopic about Frank Shankwitz, the founding father of the 'Make-A-Wish' Foundation. In June 2019, 'Wish Man' was released theatrically in select theaters in North America, and across all other streaming/VOD platforms in September. 'Wish Man' also began an 18-month run on Netflix in December of that year.

I've just finished writing the pilot episode of dark comedy/crime drama 'Englishmen in America', a 6-part limited series for television, with co-writer Harry ter Haar. I have two other completed feature film scripts that are currently with a casting director who is working to attach talent.

I'm the founder of the Southern California Screenplay Competition, one of the fastest growing screenplay competitions in the world.
