Davey Porter is a 49-year-old award-winning filmmaker with a prolific career spanning multiple feature films, television programs, and literary works. His filmography includes three feature films, such as the critically acclaimed "Happy Endings Sleepover", "Last Flight of The Cosmonaut", and the non-fiction feature "The Boles Murders", which received the prestigious 2004 June Lockhart Award for Special Achievement in Film.
Porter's film, "The Boles Murders", was instrumental in reopening a 40-year-old unsolved homicide case involving an entire family and their dog. The film's success has been a testament to Porter's ability to craft compelling stories that resonate with audiences.
In addition to his work in film, Porter has also ventured into television, producing three seasons of the popular children's program "Nanna's Cottage", which remains in worldwide syndication.
Porter's entry into the motion picture industry was marked by his work as a writer of episodic network television and small, independent feature films. His screenplay, "Extreme Champions", caught the attention of Disney, leading to a first-look deal for screenplays and story ideas.
During the 2003 wild-land fires, Porter served as an on-scene news source for the Associated Press and various electronic news organizations. Unfortunately, his own home was destroyed in the "Old Fire" that swept through Cedar Glen near Lake Arrowhead. As a result, Porter was signed to a book deal with Tor-Forge Publishing, which led to the publication of his non-fiction account, "Hell on Earth", in the summer of 2006.
Currently, Porter is working on a one-hour streaming series, "The Johnnie & Sander Stories", which is based on the Cade Jay Hathaway novels. The series is being produced in Denmark, Poland, and the UK, and is set to debut on Amazon in the fall of 2022. Porter is married to his wife, Karen, an award-winning theatrical costume designer, and divides his time between Oregon and Denmark.
