Travis Beacham

Travis Beacham (born 1980) is an American screenwriter, best known for writing and co-writing the films Dog Days of Summer (2007), Pacific Rim (2013), Clash of the Titans (2010), and proposing the concept for the Amazon Prime fantasy TV series Carnival Row (2019–2023).

Just prior to graduating from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in 2005 after studying screenwriting, Beacham contributed to the independent feature Dog Days of Summer directed by fellow alum Mark Freiburger.

Prior to the film's release in 2013, Beacham authored a graphic novel prequel titled Pacific Rim: Tales From Year Zero,[9] with art by Sean Chen, Yvel Guichet, Pericles Junior and Alex Ross.

Developed as a potential companion for The Walking Dead, the new series was to depict "a former cop thrust into the criminal underworld of a city housed in a generational spaceship."

[citation needed] In 2016 he made his directorial debut with the science fiction short The Curiosity,[12] starring Caroline Ford, Danial Wolfe, and Andrew Novell.
