John Ridley Bio:

John Ridley is an American screenwriter, director, novelist, and comic book creator. He’s best known to the world at large as the writer of the Academy Award-winning 12 Years a Slave, and Emmy-nominated American Crime.

For comic book fans, he’s published numerous books reexamining the DC Universe. Recently, the lauded GCPD: The Blue Wall and The Other History of the DC Universe were both written by Ridley. His current work is IDW’s The Ministry of Compliance. Other books include The Authority: Human on the Inside, Future State: The Next Batman, and more.

Coming up, Ridley directed Shirley starring Regina King, which is scheduled to debut on Netflix in 2024.

Cliff Bleszinski Bio:

Cliff Bleszinski is a do-it-all man. After 20 years at Epic Games, where he flexed accolades like Lead Designer of the Gears of War series and the original Design Director of Fortnite (also originally announced Fortnite at the 2011 Spike Video Game Awards), Cliff wanted to try something else. Cliff’s career following gaming has seen him fund and co-produce a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical (Hadestown), become a restauranteur (Raleigh Beer Garden has 3x Guinness records for most beers on tap), and now, create Scrapper.
