Slay the Dragon: Writing Great Video Games

Keith Giglio grew up in New York City in a family that felt like the cast of a Woody Allen movie starring Robert Deniro.

His love of film comedy began at an early age. After graduating New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, Graduate School of Film and Television, Keith moved to Los Angeles because he didn’t want to miss the riots.

He began writing with his wife, Juliet, and they sold their first four scripts, thus forcing them to work together. He is a member of the Writers Guild of America and has had 6½ movies produced and many more optioned. In addition to writing and producing, Keith teaches screenwriting at Syracuse University.

Robert Denton Bryant has worked in Hollywood in marketing and production, and in video games as both a publisher and a developer. He has been the executive producer of dozens of games on platforms ranging from CD-ROMs to the iPad, including the best-selling “World Championship Poker” and “Pinball Hall of Fame” console game franchises.

He has lectured on game writing at universities in the United States and Europe, and teaches in the Writers’ Program at UCLA Extension as well as at Woodbury University in Burbank, California. He holds an MFA in cinema-television production from the University of Southern California and a BA in journalism from Washington and Lee University.
