Shan Serafin (born November 18, 1982) is an 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 productions, the majority of his work falls under drama. As a writer, he continually collaborates with best-selling novelist James Patterson, with whom he's co-authored The Women's War, an action thriller about three female special ops; Come And Get Us, a thriller about a young mother stranded in the desert; and Revenge, 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 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. 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. Serafin is a Buddhist practicing with the Soka Gakkai International organization of Nichiren Buddhism. He currently resides in Los Angeles and Paris.
