Jason Vaughn

Exxie

2016 Screenwriting Contest - Semifinalist

The Interlopers

9th Great Movie Idea Contest - Winner

The Synth House Wife

2012 Screenwriting Contest - Winner

Jason M. Vaughn earned a degree in Painting from the University of Kansas back in a majestic time called “the nineties,” then drifted away from visual art and found himself addicted to books. Writing naturally followed. His poetry and short prose pieces have been circulated by various print and online journals, including ContraryMonkeybicycle, and The Missouri Review. His first screenplay, The Synth House Wife (now titled The Green Sea), was a grand-prize winner in the 2012 Script Pipeline Screenwriting Competition. His third feature script, tentatively titled Interlopers, is being developed with Script Pipeline following a Great Movie Idea Contest win.
