01 / Biography

Making the
unusual compelling.

Jason Murphy is a writer and producer with more than a decade of experience across television, digital entertainment, film, and publishing. He co-created Modern Rogue, an independent factual-entertainment series with more than 1.7 million YouTube subscribers, and helped develop approximately 425 episodes as producer, writer, and on-camera co-host.

He also co-created National Geographic's Hacking the System, serving as segment producer, writer, and co-host on the ten-episode series. His work combines research, scripting, creative development, directing, and practical production—often turning unusual or technically complex subjects into accessible, entertaining stories.

His screenwriting credits include the produced feature Sleep No More and commissioned screenplays Ghosts of the Rio Grande and Stockholm, Texas. His published fiction includes The Black Goat Motorcycle Club, Killer Candy, and Necromancers on Drugs. He has also written articles for CODE Magazine on artificial intelligence, software, and emerging media.

Murphy is now developing interactive fiction and original narrative game concepts, applying his experience with character, research, dramatic structure, and production to player-driven storytelling.
