TEX GRESHAM BIO
Texas-born Tex Gresham grew up obsessed with stories about people on the edge—outlaws, losers, dreamers, and the damned. A two-time MFA graduate, he’s now a writer, filmmaker, and artist whose work blends low-brow honesty with literary ambition, often melting absurdism, violence, and dark comedy into something strange and uncomfortable, yet heartfelt.
Over the past decade, Tex has written and developed projects for Audible and Striking Distance Studios and has taught screenwriting and directing at UNLV. His fiction and films have been published and screened internationally, earning him multiple awards and fellowships. His microbudget feature Mustard—which he wrote, directed, shot, edited, starred in, and composed the score for—has become a calling card for his fearless, DIY approach to filmmaking and his fascination with flawed, desperate characters.
Tex’s storytelling spans genres—from crime thrillers to absurdist speculative fiction—and he often explores the surreal edges of identity, corruption, and redemption. He is currently developing Matt, an absurdist literary thriller novel and screenplay about mistaken identity, bad artists, and cultural paranoia. He is also revising Sometimes the Devil Wins, a horror western about small-town faith and cannibalistic devotion.
He lives in Los Angeles.
