John Hayeck is a screenwriter based in Los Angeles.

He grew up in suburban Massachusetts and attended USC’s School of Cinematic Arts. John began his career as a Script Reader at Skydance Media. He’s evaluated scripts, novels, and comics for Lit Entertainment Group, The Austin Film Festival, and Rawson Thurber’s Bad Version, Inc.

From 2020-23, John was a Health and Safety freelancer on major film sets across the country. His credits include “Don’t Look Up,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” and “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.”

In 2023, John directed and produced his first independent film — a teen comedy called “FAKES.” The film premiered in Los Angeles and Boston in 2024 and it will stream globally in 2025.

John’s screenplays are equal parts heartfelt and irreverent. He loves bulldogs and hates people that take themselves too seriously.
