Our exploration of screenwriting continues with a special interview! Who better to talk to about the process than someone who has achieved what we’re setting out to do? Welcome, Tom Vaughan, to our little corner of the internet. Not only is Tom a professional screenwriter whose feature films have hit the big screen, but he also teaches screenwriting at the University of Houston and offers an online course called Story & Plot. We’re betting we are going to learn a lot and have a hunch you will too.

_______________

Tom Vaughan has been a professional screenwriter for 28 years and has taught the subject for nearly as long. He has written projects for Warner Brothers, Sony Pictures, Disney, ABC, NBC, TBS, CBS, Miramax, Castle Rock Entertainment, and many others.

His most recent film, HAUNTING OF QUEEN MARY (2023), followed WINCHESTER (2018), starring Academy Award winner Helen Mirren and Sarah Snook. He has developed projects for Matthew McConaughey, Nicolas Cage, Barry Sonnenfeld, and others, including director David Gordon Green, who is attached to his upcoming action-comedy Most Wanted. His other produced screenplays include UNSTOPPABLE with Wesley Snipes and CRITICAL ASSEMBLY with Katherine Heigl.

His script, DADDY'S GIRL, is slated for production later this year. One of his big life goals was to teach screenwriting at his beloved alma mater, The University of Houston. Which he now does.
