Graham O. Holliday was born in Tupelo, Mississippi. He was an avid reader from a young age and credits that to his creativity and drive. His first films were Lego fantasy stop-motion projects, his longest clocking in at 26 minutes. He wrote his first screenplay at age 13 and then spent three years producing it with an iPhone and shoestring budget, calling in favors from friends, family, and classmates to finally complete it. An excerpt from the feature film (an action scene) was previewed at the Mississippi High School Film Competition where it won third place. A year later his short film "Your Name" won first place along with the best cinematography award. He graduated high school three years early and used the extra time to finish the feature film and learn filmmaking on his own, traveling to New Zealand, Europe, Belize, and Israel. Holliday began heavily focusing on writing in 2017, working in the thriller and action genres. He commits to writing ten projects a year. In 2020 he spent time developing a screenplay that could be easily and safely shot during the pandemic, shooting a proof of concept and preparing for production to begin in mid-2021. That project is in post-production as of March 2022. As of March 2022 Holliday attends Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA, majoring in film production, while meeting new people to partner with on future projects.
