Dublin-born writer John Finnan brings a fresh voice to the realms of Horror and SciFi with his award-winning short film Terminus. A lifelong storyteller, John has been crafting short stories for over a decade, with several published in Ireland. Terminus, his debut screenplay, blends chilling horror and thought-provoking science fiction, earning accolades such as Best International Short at Phoenix Fear-Con and The Golden Chainsaw for Best Science Fiction at the Trash Film Festival in Varaždin, Croatia. Inspired by genre classics like Doctor Who, Blakes 7, and the cosmic dread of H.P. Lovecraft, John’s work explores the intersection of human experience and speculative futures, often with a nod to his keen interest in artificial intelligence. As both the writer and sole actor in Terminus, John’s multifaceted talent shines a light on the art of storytelling in the eerie and fantastical.
