Burk Sharpless grew up writing science fiction stories and drawing comic books for his friends, but it never really occurred to him that might be his true calling. Hailing from an academic family, he wanted to do something appropriately erudite and high-brow.

He eventually recognized that the art world wasn’t exactly the right fit, so he headed to Los Angeles to become a screenwriter, naively thinking that was the more practical alternative. Together with his writing partner Matt Sazama, they wrote the original spec script Dracula Untold, which was on the prestigious Black List of best unproduced screenplays before it was finally made by Universal Pictures in 2014. Since then, they wrote the script for Gods of Egypt and co-wrote the motion pictures, The Last Witch Hunter and Saban's Power Rangers.
