The Players
Original Play
Anthony Shaffer
Playwright, Screenwriter, Novelist
The renowned English playwright, screenwriter, and novelist is perhaps best remembered for his Tony Award–winning play Sleuth and its acclaimed, four-time Oscar®-nominated 1972 film adaptation. His screenplays include Alfred Hitchcock’s Frenzy, the original folk-horror landmark The Wicker Man, and multiple screen adaptations of Agatha Christie’s beloved Hercule Poirot series, including Death on the Nile. His accolades include wins at the Tony Awards, the Cinema Writers Circle, the David di Donatello Awards, and the Edgar Allan Poe Awards. He also received nominations from the Golden Globes and BAFTA Awards.
Screenplay & Directing
Daniel Clements
Director, Screenwriter, Producer
Daniel Clements is a multi-award-winning director whose films have screened worldwide, with many an Official Selection and in competition at top-tier Academy Awards® Qualifying festivals. One of his earliest shorts, Patient — made while still earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film — was translated into multiple languages, screened at over 28 global festivals, won more than two dozen international awards, and marked his first distribution deal — setting a trend his subsequent films would only elevate (e.g., Laughing Out Loud, Edit > Undo, Hard Luck, and more). Though his body of work spans many genres, a signature style consistently reemerges: darkly comic, emotionally charged, twisted, suspenseful, and laced with kinetic energy — often provoking visceral reactions, and occasionally erupting in unforgettable bursts of traumatizing body horror when least expected.
