American film director, screenwriter, and novelist. In both film and
literature he is known for his work in the thriller and action genres.
For stage, the majority of his productions fall under drama.He
continually collaborates with best-selling novelist James Patterson,
with whom he's co-authored The Women's War (2016), an action thriller
about three female special ops; Come And Get Us (2017), a thriller
about a young mother stranded in the desert; and Revenge (2017), a
thriller about a hitman avenging his wife. Serafin is known for
fiction narratives featuring strong female characters often entangled
in violent predicaments. His first novel Seventeen (Serafin novel) is
the story of a seventeen-year old adolescent who gives herself seven
days to live. His second solo-effort is Conquest, a fiction narrative
of the toils of modern dating.His film-directing career began with The
Forest (2011), which was the first of three feature films he would
write and direct. The Forest is a supernatural thriller shot
on-location in the infamous Aokigahara Jukai suicide forest, which
stars Aidan Bristow and Michael Madsen. His second film, Misfire
(2013), starring Jaina Lee Ortiz, is a stylized action-thriller
depicting rival female assassins converging on the same target. His
most-recent film, The Believer (2017), is a psychological thriller
involving demonology within the context of marital strife. The
Believer represents his second collaboration with actor Aidan Bristow,
who also produced, and co-stars Sophie Kargman along with Lindsey
Ginter and Susan Wilder.Serafin's directorial work in theater began
with a stage play he also co-wrote entitled The Essential Bond, a
biographical narrative about the true story of two-time Nobel Prize
winner Linus Pauling. The Essential Bond starred John Astin and Matt
Ashford and ran for three months. Thereafter, Serafin directed several
stage productions in Los Angeles, including Adam Rapp's Red Light
Winter, Patrick Marber's Closer, and Theresa Rebeck's Spike Heels.
