Stacey Menear has been coming up with stories his entire life. As a child, he made up further stories of Indian Jones before he could even write. At the start of his career, he wrote several short stories before moving on to screenplays. Mixtape (2010) was his first screenplay to make it on to Hollywood`s Blacklist in 2009 but is as yet unproduced. The Boy (2016), a horror movie about a haunted doll, is one of his notable credits. His 2020 releases include Brahms: The Boy II, the movie`s sequel.
