About Kris

Kris Shuman is a screenwriter from Savannah, Georgia, known for bold, character-driven dramas that cut to the bone of Southern life. Raised by a family of storytellers and shaped by his own recovery journey, Kris writes from the edge – emotionally, morally, and spiritually. His characters aren’t crafted; they’re excavated. His work digs into identity, loyalty, and what it means to rebuild from ruin. With a background in media studies and a lived-in, unflinching perspective, Kris brings raw honesty to every story – not for shock, but for truth. He writes because he’s been through the dark and wants to light the way out.

If Kris had a slogan, it would be: “Went to hell. Brought back directions.”

“There’s an existential grittiness… that could satisfy the same demographics so enthralled by Nic Pizzolatto’s work.” — The Black List
