Director
Ben Blacker is best known as the creator, with his writing partner Ben Acker, of the Thrilling Adventure Hour, a staged show in the style of old-time radio. The show ran as a podcast for five years and won awards and garnered acclaim everywhere from the LA Weekly to Rolling Stone. With Acker, Blacker has sold pilots to USA, Fox, Nickelodeon, Spike, and other networks. Blacker is the creator and host of The Writers Panel, a podcast in which he talks with writers about the business and process of writing television. He’s also the co-producer of Dead Pilots Society, the live show and podcast in which pilots by professional writers that were bought and developed but never produced are given the table reads they so richly deserve.
