Shay Hatten, yeah, that guy—born in Oakland back in ‘94, which honestly doesn’t feel that long ago (but, you know, time is a flat circle). Anyway, he’s not just another name in the credits; dude’s been hustling behind the scenes in Hollywood, cranking out scripts that actually make people care. You might’ve caught his work in John Wick: Chapter 4—if you haven’t, what rock are you living under?—where he basically keeps the franchise from jumping the shark and somehow makes the chaos look cool. And then there’s Ballerina, set to drop in 2025. It’s got all that John Wick DNA but with a twist. Hatten’s fingerprints are all over the script, blending ballet and bullets in a way that sounds ridiculous but totally works. It’s a spin-off, sure, but it’s not just riding coattails. He’s the kind of writer who actually gives his characters some bite, not just cardboard cutouts with guns. Oh, and don’t sleep on Resident Evil (2026), either. Hatten’s got his hands in that, too, which is wild because, let’s be real, Resident Evil adaptations are hit or miss, but the buzz is good. So, if you’re into action, a little bit of horror, and scripts that don’t treat you like an idiot, Shay Hatten’s someone to keep on your radar. Not bad for a guy who probably still gets carded at bars.
Graduated from Loyola Marymount University’s School of Film and Television back in 2016. That’s a spot known for churning out some seriously creative minds—think directors, screenwriters, folks who end up shaking up the industry. The program’s got a reputation for hands-on work, so students don’t just sit through lectures; they’re shooting, editing, sweating through group projects, and learning the business side too. A lot of alumni end up working in Hollywood, Netflix, Hulu, you name it—places where you need both hustle and a bit of luck. The campus itself has a vibe: tons of late-night shoots, student film festivals, and, oh, the occasional celebrity sighting. It’s kind of a breeding ground for film geeks and storytellers who want more than just theory. So, graduating from there in 2016 means you probably left with a solid reel, a network of hungry filmmakers, and maybe a few wild stories from the editing bay.
