Travis Carr is a writer/director with a decade-plus career as a story producer and editor for nonscripted television and documentaries (on the primetime Emmy ballot 2022). He pulls from his lived-experiences, world travels, and knack for fact-based storytelling to write wry character dramas based on true stories, adaptations, and research-heavy subjects. Growing up poor in rural Maryland, his writing focuses on underdogs, forged families, trauma, and blue-collar issues.

He’s earned accolades from top fellowships, earning his participation in the WGA East Nonfiction Showrunners Training Program and CannesFilms Unlimited Screenwriting Residency. He has also been a Finalist for the Black List/MGM Feature Partnership, Orchard Project Episodic Lab, JHRTS Screenwriting Competition, and Black List Feature Lab, Semifinalist in PAGE, Quarterfinalist in the Academy Nicholl, and Second Rounder in Austin Film Festival. His short films have played at film festivals worldwide, from Cork, Ireland to Berlin, Germany, to the Museum of the Moving Image in New York City.
