Evan Law
- Writer
- Producer
Born and raised in the small town of Farmland, Indiana, Evan is the
youngest child of parents Ed and Nancy Law. His love of film began at a
very early age when his father began taking him to such genre movies as
"Big Trouble in Little China" and "Conan the Barbarian." After
receiving their first camcorder for Christmas, Evan and his brother
Chad set out to shoot over 75 homemade movies while growing up. Later,
inspired by the works of fantasy authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien and
Robert E. Howard, Evan began to dabble in writing at age 13. His
original interest lay in authoring novels, especially those in the
fantasy genre, but later expanded to writing screenplays. The first of
these was "Daylight's End," his brother Chad now his writing partner.
"Daylight's End" was not only his first attempt at collaborative
writing or writing screenplays, it was also his first attempt at a
horror story. It was later submitted to Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's
"Project Greenlight" contest (the same one that resulted in the horror
film "Feast"), where it placed high but was ultimately not chosen. The
near success, however, put him and his brother Chad on a path of
full-time screen-writing. One of their following screenplays, a crime
drama entitled "Hero Wanted," resulted in their first feature film in
2008. Evan continues to write fantasy novels when he can find the time,
sometimes under the pen name E.R. Law, but co-writing screenplays is
his top priority. He continues to reside in Indiana, never too far away
from his hometown of Farmland.
