James W. Hawk is an author, award-winning filmmaker, and photographic artist with a degree in mechanical engineering from Cleveland State University. His early writing was for a Fortune 500 company, but his passion for storytelling led him lately to pen FILM SYNTAX (non-fiction) and fiction works such as MALAKI’S 1st ANTHOLOGY, SPIRITUAL DESTINY (the first book of the Alp to Taw Chronicles), and CONFLUENCE.

As a filmmaker, Hawk leads HawkMedia Studios, HawkFilme, OldMan Hawk Film, and Aleph to Taw. He has written over 35 screenplays, and his cinematic vision has been showcased by his films being screened 111 times across 63 international festivals and venues, earning multiple accolades, including two award-winners, two finalists, and four semi-finalists. His work has even been exhibited at an art exhibition in Rome, Italy.

A literature and filmmaker colleague of the United States Veteran’s Artist Alliance (USVAA), Hawk is currently developing new print and film projects for the Epic and Essential Alp to Taw Chronicles, pushing the boundaries of storytelling across mediums.
