John Porter BioJohn Porter was born and raised in California, where he received a bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies from Santa Clara University in Santa Clara, and where he works as a tour guide at Hearst Castle in San Simeon and as a ranch hand on his family’s ranch in the Huasna Valley.
In the mid-1990s, Porter began writing screenplays, the first of which, SPARKS AND LIGHT, was a feature inspired by a true story about his great-great-grandfather Isaac J. Sparks, an otter hunter and rancher, and Allen B. Light, Sparks’s friend and the first black resident of Santa Barbara.
Porter has written ten features and thirty-five shorts, four of which (one feature and three shorts) have been optioned. And he is extremely grateful to the organizers of the WILDsound Screenplay Festival for the honor they have given him.
