 Born in Los
Angeles in December, 1983, Evan Kilgore grew up in
Washington State, where he developed an early love for
both films and literature. He began writing short
stories and, later, novels, at a young age, before
returning to Southern California to earn his Bachelor
of Fine Arts degree in Screenwriting at the University
of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts.
He sold his first
novel, Who
is Shayla Hacker, to Bleak House
Books during his senior year as an undergraduate, in
2006, and after its publication the following year,
Bleak House released his second novel, The
Children of Black Valley, in 2008.
Made in China and The
Last March of Nine would later
follow.
At the same time,
Evan began working to develop screenwriting projects
with writing partner Samuel Franco, both of whom were
included in Variety's Top Ten Writers to
Watch, in 2017. Their first script, Mayday
109, was honored on the Black List,
Hit List, and Young and Hungry List, before it was
optioned by Thunder Road Films and FlynnPictureCo.
Ansel Elgort (Baby
Driver, The Fault in Our Stars) is attached to
star as the film prepares for pre-production.
The duo's second
feature script, Keeper of the Diary, received resounding interest within
the industry, at last selling to Fox Searchlight after
a fierce weekend bidding war between multiple studios.
Actor Kenneth Branagh (Dunkirk, Murder on the Orient Express) is attached to star, with
Reed Morano (The
Handmaid’s Tale, The Rhythm Section) directing.
The film is expected to gear up for shooting in
2020/2021.
Franco/Kilgore
sold two television pilots to USA Network and FX
Networks in 2019, both of which are now packaging and
in development. The Fall of the House of
FIFA, set up at FX, follows
the precipitous collapse of the corrupt soccer empire
that heralded a global multibillion-dollar shift in
power.
In the past, Evan
has also volunteered as a mentor with the Young
Storytellers Program, which pairs writers and industry
professionals with elementary school students to
foster and develop a love for writing at a young age.
Franco and Kilgore
are both represented by Verve Talent and Literary
Agency, Management 360, and Morris/Yorn, and both
live in Los Angeles.
