WILLIAM P. CLAYTON
SCREENWRITER · AUTHOR · CREATOR
I AIM TO MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH,
MAKE THEM UNCOMFORTABLE OR,
BREAK THEIR HEARTS.
I create characters with something to lose,
put them somewhere they never expected to be,take away the map — and find out
who they really are!
IN THE STORIES I TELL, LIFE DOESN’T FOLLOW THE SCRIPT. NEITHER DO MY CHARACTERS.
I’m drawn to characters pushed beyond the world they understand — by ambition, obsession, love, loss, survival, or something they never saw coming.
I’m interested in what happens when the rules change. Who adapts. Who resists. Who crosses the line. And what people reveal about themselves when the choices stop being easy.
Different worlds. Different stakes. Because people get interesting when the rules stop working.
Comedy. Crime. Drama. Science fiction. The genre changes. The question doesn't: who are you when life takes away the map?
