Marcus Dunstan

Marcus Dunstan hails from Macomb, IL and attended the University of Iowa, where he met his writing partner Patrick Melton. After moving to North Hollywood in January of 1999, Marcus attempted to stay in shape by jogging in a nearby park. He found a gun in that park, ran back to his apartment and shortly thereafter gained 50 pounds. Odd job after odd job followed as Mr. Dunstan watched his youth dim under the mocking gaze of his Communications Degree. A fateful call from Patrick Melton began with, “What if we took a shot at writing a horror film?” That script became FEAST, which was selected by Project Greenlight and released by Dimension Films.

The success of FEAST led to the creation of two sequels that so offended one viewer, Dunstan was asked not to reproduce. In 2007, Marcus co-wrote SAW IV with Patrick Melton, during which time, Dunstan, fearing kidney stones, endured an ultrasound only to discover that his jeans were so tight they had pinched a nerve under his ribcage. With shame intact, Marcus co-wrote SAW V, SAW VI and SAW 3D for director Kevin Greutert.
