Don Donahue is a Kansas City screenwriter and visual storyteller who grew up in the backwaters of Mississippuh with a head full of monster guides, comic books, and cinematic daydreams. That origin shaped Dear Island, a southern swamp drama set off the Gulf Coast, which placed in the top 5% of projects on Coverfly and earned a spot on the Red List. A lifelong fan of creature-filled franchises like Pokémon and Zelda, Don created Monsters and Gemstones, a monster-catching fantasy adventure that now ranks among the top 20 Adventure TV (Half-hour) scripts of all time on Coverfly’s Red List. Nowadays, Don leads AI transformation at a global tech company, a role that inspired the satirical edge of his tech-fueled supervillain feature How to Destroy the World. Across genres and formats, he brings his stories to life through concept art, storyboards, and illustrations, crafting vivid worlds long before the camera rolls.
