Devin McGrath-Conwell (he/him/his) is a writer, director, and educator from just outside Portland, ME. He is interested in studying stories that interrogate ideas of masculinity, American culture, and all things horror. These also happen to be the stories he enjoys writing and directing. In addition to these concepts, his writing for this site often focuses on the inner workings of the entertainment industry, the lineage between old and new films, and, of course, awards season.  Beyond this site, his scripts have been produced in the form of a short film he also directed, Locally Sourced (2019), and the ongoing web series Lambert Hall (2020-). Starting in fall 2021, he will begin an MFA at Emerson College in Writing for Film and Television.  Devin’s favorite films include Casablanca (1942), Diabolique (1955), Blue Velvet (1986), The Silence of the Lambs (1991), Hero (2002), Hot Fuzz (2007), and Arrival (2016).
