Leon Masters

(He/Him/His)

Screenwriter | Script Consultant

Biography

Leon is a queer man who was raised in the proudly weird, central coast hippie-town and former Murder Capital of the World, Santa Cruz, California. He writes thriller, horror, and science fiction teleplays and crime drama podcasts, that place gay and transgender characters in key roles and explore LGBT+ issues. Leon has a MFA graduate of UCLA’s School of Theater, Film & Television.

"Leon Masters is a one-hour genre writer whose writing fuses the othering of supernatural creatures and real-world horrors to explore issues facing trans and other marginalized folks. Raised in the former Murder Capital of the World, he developed an off-beat sense of humor when it comes to tackling serious issues, and is heavily influenced by his background where cults, ghost-hunts and séances felt like the norm. With a voice to die for and a truly one-of-a-kind perspective, Leon is ready to take on TV." - Namrata's Recommendation Coverfly Writer Development Team
