About

Derek Nunn is a storyteller. His voice has been fine-tuned and marked with style and distinction. He has worked in various departments of film and television, cultivating story ideas and concepts into reality. From award-winning independent production companies such as Steakhaus Productions and Animus Films to studios and network conglomerates such as Viacom Media Networks, producing events seen the world over.

He began working as a story consultant for various TV and film projects, script-doctoring and ghostwriting, whilst simultaneously grinding on film sets as a boom operator and working the most prestigious film festivals around the world. He later assimilated to the corporate side of entertainment, traveling the world as an assistant for ViacomCBS. With each opportunity, his proficiency for story and unique perspective has centered him in rooms with executives and personnel from Warner Brothers, MTV, Paramount Pictures, Vh1, Nickelodeon, Sony Pictures, BET, Comedy Central and 20th Century Fox.

Currently he is shopping his gritty, urban sports classic “PARAGON” based on his experience in the cutthroat subculture of collegiate to pro sports, as well as, a dazzling crime thriller series, EVERGREEN, set against the Pacific Northwest’s drug culture. Starting his own production company in his hometown of Tacoma, WA, Derek Nunn is focused on developing dynamic and innovative stories that showcase uniquely underrepresented groups and demographics for film and television.
