James Moran was born in York in 1972. He studied journalism in Dublin before moving to London, and wrote short stories while working various jobs in the computer industry. He won the UK Sci-Fi Channel short film competition with his script 'Cheap Rate Gravity', which was made into a 10 minute short film. His first full screenplay was 'Severance', a horror-comedy about office workers from an arms company getting a taste of their own medicine from an unknown killer. It starred Laura Harris, Danny Dyer, Claudie Blakley, and Toby Stephens, and was directed by Christopher Smith. James is currently writing episodes for the new season of Doctor Who, its spin-off show Torchwood, and is also working on several TV projects and movies in various stages of development. He loves movies and the whole cinema experience, reading, photography, and documentaries about things that explode.
