Author bio
Lance Gilbert is an American screenwriter with seven feature screenplays to his name, four of which have advanced through the development process, securing options or shopping agreements. His first feature, Unholy Soundtrack, which explores the legendary Led Zeppelin Curse, was optioned, marking a strong entry into genre filmmaking. Most recently, Lance signed a shopping agreement for his true crime/horror project, The Exorcist Murders (renamed The Exorcist Tapes), currently in the market with a notable director/producer attached and represented by an agent from a top 10 agency.
Lance’s deep personal experiences with the supernatural lend an authentic and visceral edge to his genre storytelling. After nearly two decades in Human Resources and Recruitment, Lance began writing full-time while living in Wellington, New Zealand, before relocating to Australia, where he now resides.
In addition to his screenwriting career, Lance authored the best-selling nonfiction book The Led Zeppelin Curse, a deep dive into the band's infamous history and occult ties. His extensive knowledge of both the band and occult practices, similar to those explored by Jimmy Page, uniquely positions him to interpret the legendary conflict between Page and underground filmmaker Kenneth Anger.
