About Derek Roy. 

Updated Me 02_edited.jpg

I'm is a film graduate from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I'm an international award-winning filmmaker and have been a finalist in international screenwriting competitions. I have written three feature film spec scripts, as well as multiple short film screenplays, and I am currently hoping to find representation for my writing/directing in the film industry.

I love to tell stories in any medium I can. Along with writing Virtuous Sins, I plan on writing a whole saga of novels depicting life in the 12th century. I also have ambitions to write stories for video games and television/streaming as well. I dream of one day becoming a showrunner, while hopefully maintaining the luxury of pursuing any medium that one of my stories might need.

Here are some of my favorite movies:

  • Lord of the Rings (all 3 - extended editions, of course!)

  • Inglorious Bastards (2009)

  • In Cold Blood (1967)

  • Au Revoir Les Enfants (1987)

  • Her (2013)

Here are some of my favorite video games:

  • The Last of Us (Naughty Dog)

  • Subnautica (Unknown Worlds)

  • The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt (CDProjektRed)

  • Skyrim (Bethesda)

  • Doom Eternal (Id Software/Bethesda)

Here are some of my favorite books:

  • The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

  • The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tokien

  • The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu

  • The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
