Craig Machen

Craig Machen was raised on and off in Oklahoma, with stops along the southeast coast of Florida and central Arizona. He got his start, and a healthy dose of inspiration, from a college job working for the Improv Comedy Clubs in Tempe and San Diego. After graduation Craig moved to Los Angeles and became a story analyst for several studios and production companies including Jim Henson Pictures where he got his first break as a screenwriter. The Jim Henson Company, with Columbia Pictures, bought Craig's first two screenplays and since then he has written and/or sold film and television projects to 20th Century Fox, Warner Brothers Television, Viacom, VH1, Tollin Robbins Entertainment, MTV Original Movies, Spelling Television, The WB, Red Hour Films, Montecito Pictures, DreamWorks and others.
