Screenwriter
Jason Rainwater is an American screenwriter and producer, a second-generation filmmaker born into the heart of the film industry. Growing up on the Warner Bros. Lot, where his father worked as a film editor for over fifty years, Jason was immersed in Hollywood’s creative core. Surrounded by visionary directors like Richard Donner, Tony Scott, and David Lynch, along with mega-producer Joel Silver, Jason developed a passion for storytelling that became the foundation of his career in film. Jason initially made a name for himself as an actor, co-starring in Richard Donner’s Lethal Weapon 3 alongside Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. He followed this with roles in Forever Young (directed by Steve Miner), HBO’s Tales from the Crypt (“Werewolf Concerto”) opposite Timothy Dalton and Beverly D’Angelo, and NBC’s The Profiler, starring Ally Walker, Robert Davi, and Julian McMahon. These experiences provided invaluable insight into the filmmaking process and inspired his transition behind the camera. Influenced by legendary action screenwriter Shane Black and cult director Jack Hill, Jason embraced screenwriting to craft innovative, character-driven stories. His first screenplay, Ghost Dance, was selected for Robert Redford’s prestigious Sundance Institute Writer’s Lab. There, he refined his craft under the mentorship of top industry professionals and artists. Over the next decade, Jason built a prolific writing career, employed to write action, horror, and science fiction films for both domestic and international markets. Among his notable works is A Good Man, starring Steven Seagal, along with extensive screenwriting for major motion picture production companies, solidifying his reputation as a trusted and dynamic voice in the screenwriting world. In 2020, Jason partnered with longtime friend Lyle Howry at Skinfly Entertainment, expanding his creative portfolio into producing and directing. Their award-winning docuseries, A Prisoner’s Path, reflects Jason’s commitment to using storytelling as a vehicle for social change, focusing on prison reform and rehabilitation. In 2023, he co-produced the multi-award-winning horror film Spaghetti, which garnered over 30 awards at domestic and international film festivals, further showcasing his versatility as a filmmaker. With a career spanning over twenty years, Jason Rainwater continues to craft innovative stories that entertain, challenge, and inspire audiences worldwide.
