LA based screenwriter. Arun rhymes with the color “maroon”.
My feature films screenplays are genre-heavy, character-driven, budget-conscious, and focus on unique settings and under-explored subjects.
My scripts have received recognition and accolades from Netflix, CAPE, the Black List, the Nicholl fellowship, Austin Film Festival, and more.
After placing in top competitions, Arun Croll met with major talent agencies and production companies with first-look deals that are interested to pitch his work. Drawing from his Japanese-Mexican-American heritage and New Age upbringing, Arun writes horror/thriller features that shine a light on under-explored settings and predicaments. From neo-pagan communes, rope bondage workshops, haunted acupuncture clinics, and murderous vegans, his stories are set in unique worlds that catch you by surprise.
