Rico Hatton

Screenwrter and Voice Actor

United States

Hello my freaky darlings! My name's Rico, a nonbinary LGBTQ+ writer and voice actor who's lived on both sides of the pond. Throughout my life, I have always had a flair for creative and imaginative works. That flair led to me studying in the UK for Film and TV Production and later focusing on Screenwriting and Playwriting.

My writing explores common Gothic themes, such as how the world plays into the story as a 'character' in it's own right, life and death, and questions regarding the supernatural and how it reflects modern socioeconomic themes such as Queerness, Classism, and what makes us human.

Additionally, I love stories that explore a hidden gem behind the grime of society, how an entire epic can happen behind an ally of a dive bar.

Since then I have worked on several short films, and interactive visual novels, and am currently working on a feature film (NDA) and a full-length visual novel!
