Q&A: Screenwriter & TV writer Kyle Killen (“The Beaver,” “Awake,” “Lone Star”)
I have been following the career of Kyle Killen almost since the start of this blog, introduced to his writing with his original screenplay “The Beaver” which topped the 2008 Black List. Therefore I was quite pleased when Kyle agreed to do a GITS Q&A back in May of last year. Some background on Kyle:
Kyle Killen began as a fiction writer, winning the John Steinbeck Award For The Short Story in 2005 and going on to have his work featured in numerous publications including Salon.com, McSweeney’s, and The Mid-American Review.
His script, The Beaver landed on top of “The Black List”, a compilation of the years best liked screenplays and went on to become a Jodie Foster/Mel Gibson feature film. Previously, his series, Lone Star was named the best new series on television by the likes of USA Today, NPR, and Variety.
He is currently working on his new series, “Awake” for NBC. He lives in Austin, TX.
Here is the interview:
Be sure to watch “Awake” which airs Thursdays at 10PM on NBC.
