Thanks for stopping by! I’m Barrington. I write screenplays, TV pilots, and speculative fiction that explores how people react when their world — or their place in it — changes. I’m also co-founder of Secret Monster Productions, a genre film company developing a slate of sci-fi, horror, and horror comedy features — currently heading to Cannes 2026.

My work has been acquired by several producers and companies, and won prizes like Amazon Studios’ Best Screenplay Award, Screencraft’s Cinematic Short Story Competition Grand Prize, and DreamAgo’s Pen & Pellicule Writing Fellowship. I’ve also published fiction in literary journals like Sycamore Review, Colorado Review, The Drum and Women of Horror, Volume 3, and I recently co-wrote a well-reviewed episode of Creepshow on AMC’s Shudder Network.

Before I was a writer, I worked in production for theatre, large-scale events, and film — spending many hours on sound stages and sets. In my life, I’ve also worked as a gift-wrapper at a mall in Indiana, a piano accompanist, stage manager, teacher and secretary. I’ve studied massage at a temple in Thailand, produced shows with a dancing cow mascot in Costa Rica, written a food guide for Western Australia, and survived cancer (a few times). It’s a life that informs my writing.
