About Derek Roy.

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.
