Miles Maker

Miles has been passionate about writing since he taught himself to read at a very early age. He found happiness and comfort in stories, and by the age of 13, he was accepted into the prestigious School for the Creative and Performing Arts in San Diego, California. The SCPA offered an expanded curriculum to nurture and mentor its students in their respective talents. Miles excelled in the areas of fiction writing, drama and poetry. While studying journalism at the University of Oregon, Miles was asked to read at a casting call for the Turner Home Entertainment movie, "Finish Line", (1989) starring James Brolin, Josh Brolin and Kristoff St. John. He was chosen to play the part of the character known as 'Cooper' by John Nicolella, the films Director. Maker was inspired to adapt his narrative stories into screenplays, and after receiving a training grant from Screen West Midlands and attending a series of weekend workshops at Raindance Films in London, Maker was determined to become a Director without a formal degree or hands-on training of any kind.
