Born and raised in the small town of Farmland, Indiana, screenwriter and producer Chad Law's love for film started at a very early age when his father, Ed, began taking him to genre films such as "The Lost Boys" and "Big Trouble in Little China". Chad and his brother Evan then set forth to shoot over 75 homemade movies while growing up with a video camera gifted to them by their dad and mom, Nancy, for Christmas, most of which Chad "starred" in and "directed."
Although he had always loved creating stories it wasn't until he had almost finished college and after he had just seen "the latest vampire movie" that he actually sat down to write his first screenplay ("Night Class"). It was never produced and Chad never developed the script further but it did trigger him to write more. Chad's next screenplay, an action-horror project entitled "Daylight's End" went on to place fairly high in Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's Project Greenlight competition just a few short days after a rough draft was completed and would later be produced in 2016 under the direction of William Kaufman and starring Johnny Strong and Lance Henriksen. Chad's first produced film, however, the crime-drama "Hero Wanted", starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., Norman Reedus, the late Ray Liotta, Tommy Flanagan, Kim Coates and Jean Smart, went into production in April 2007 for Avi Lerner's Millennium Films. His next, "The Hit List", starring Cole Hauser and Cuba Gooding, Jr., went into production in February 2010 for Sony's Stage 6 Films.
Now rather well know in the independent action film world, Chad's other writing credits include "Section Eight", starring Ryan Kwanten, Mickey Rourke, Dermot Mulroney, Dolph Lundgren and Scott Adkins, "Shrapnel", starring Jason Patric and Cam Gigandet, "Six Bullets", starring Jean Claude Van Damme, "The Getback", starring Theo Rossi, Shane Paul McGhie, Dermot Mulroney, Kim Coates and Treach, "Close Range", starring Scott Adkins, "Drive Hard", starring John Cusack and Thomas Jane, "Isolation", starring Dominic Purcell, Stephen Lang, Tricia Helfer and Marie Avgeropoulos, "Beyond The Law", starring Johnny Messner, Steven Seagal and DMX, "The Shadow Effect", starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Cam Gigandet and Michael Biehn, "Hollow Point", starring Luke Goss, Jay Mohr, Bill Duke and Juju Chan, "Lights Out", starring Frank Grillo, Mekhi Pfeiffer, Jamie King, Dermot Mulroney, Scott Adkins, Amaury Nolasco and Cowboy Cerone, and "BlackWater", which re-teamed Jean Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren and grossed over 8 million dollars in theaters during its opening weekend in China.- Writer

Born and raised in the small town of Farmland, Indiana, Evan is the youngest child of parents Ed and Nancy Law. His love of film began at a very early age when his father began taking him to such genre movies as "Big Trouble in Little China" and "Conan the Barbarian." After receiving their first camcorder for Christmas, Evan and his brother Chad set out to shoot over 75 homemade movies while growing up. Later, inspired by the works of fantasy authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien and Robert E. Howard, Evan began to dabble in writing at age 13. His original interest lay in authoring novels, especially those in the fantasy genre, but later expanded to writing screenplays. The first of these was "Daylight's End," his brother Chad now his writing partner. "Daylight's End" was not only his first attempt at collaborative writing or writing screenplays, it was also his first attempt at a horror story. It was later submitted to Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's "Project Greenlight" contest (the same one that resulted in the horror film "Feast"), where it placed high but was ultimately not chosen. The near success, however, put him and his brother Chad on a path of full-time screen-writing. One of their following screenplays, a crime drama entitled "Hero Wanted," resulted in their first feature film in 2008. Evan continues to write fantasy novels when he can find the time, sometimes under the pen name E.R. Law, but co-writing screenplays is his top priority. He continues to reside in Indiana, never too far away from his hometown of Farmland.- Malaki Kindred was born in Farmland, Indiana, USA.
