Stuart Land

Stuart’s story ideas come from his vivid imagination, but his inspiration draws from extensive world travel and fascinating careers: from US military medic to hairstylist, then Washington D.C. Police officer to NYC photographer. Later, he converted a chicken coop in the woods into a live-in studio and taught himself metal sculpture. That rudimentary craft expanded into the fine arts. Sculptures in bronze and fiberglass led to shows in the US, England and Thailand. Stuart’s passion for all arts segued into: costume design (top 100 designers in the book, Fashion: 2001); modeling agency art director; fashion show designer; water feature designer, computer illustrator and a top sculptor for special effects, sets and props in the entertainment industry with work in over thirty major films, hotels and theme parks worldwide. During Stuart’s film career, he learned screenwriting firsthand, and now has close to a score of screenplays. To explore character and environment more, Stuart took up narrative fiction, where he's written many short stories and published 8 novels. This year he won the grand prize in category for two screenplay contests. He's working on a new biographical novel at http://stuartland.com/currents-of-war/ Stuart wrote/produced/directed a trailer for a supernatural thriller filmed in Thailand with Thai actors and an international crew. wwwnightkillmovie.com.
