Who We Are
We’re a trio of screenwriters and storytellers who thrive on edgy, emotional rides. Our work embraces cultural subtext and bold themes, from grounded horror to crime thrillers to dark comedies. Whether crafting a sharp indie script or a high-stakes, commercial blockbuster, we’re driven to deliver compelling stories—without ever sacrificing quality.

Patty Hickman
Author of 17 novels for Big Five publishers, I shifted my focus to TV and film to explore the visual power of storytelling. I hold an MFA from Queens University, where I studied under Pulitzer Prize-winning authors and acclaimed screenwriters. My creative DNA is shaped by dark thrillers and subversive comedies, with influences including David Fincher, Taika Waititi, Patty Jenkins, Greta Gerwig, Mary Harron, David Leitch, and my enduring cinematic heroes, Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard.

Randy Hickman
As a collaborator, I dig deep into character and bring authenticity through meticulous research and development. My storytelling lens is shaped by the sharp wit of James L. Brooks, the visionary worlds of Guillermo del Toro, and the layered plotting of Vince Gilligan.

Joshua Hickman
I studied filmmaking at The New School and music performance at Berklee College of Music, performing with artists including Paula Cole and Burt Bacharach. My acting credits span off-Broadway musicals, New York-based TV series, and feature films. As a co-writer with ZombieDog, I help create original screenplays and TV series—often with leads who are bold, complex, and unpredictable. My influences include Steven Knight, Denis Villeneuve, and Todd Berger. I’m drawn to stories that challenge the notion of good versus evil, leaving audiences with that elusive, lightning-in-a-bottle sense of wonder.
