Growing up an awkward, shy kid from a conservative area, Todd Hunter now writes heightened dramas that empower odd-man-out protagonists or someone from a minority community. After 15 years as an actor and stuntman, Todd transitioned behind the camera where he bangs his head somewhat less frequently. An award-winning short producer, he studied Screenwriting and Producing at UCLA Extension and Script Anatomy. Marc Cherry, Gary Lennon are mentors. A lifelong martial artist, Todd also teaches self-defense for the City of West Hollywood. His dog, Pip (the sweetest little terrier rescue), takes up a disproportionate amount of his time.
