The StoryMen welcome Hollywood screenwriter Henry Gayden. Henry’s new film, Earth to Echo, is the story of four friends who find something extraordinary in the desert. Henry also worked on Spider-Man 3, and wrote a YouTube series called Zombie Roadkill, so we have plenty to talk about, including how awesome Sam Raimi is, how he broke into Hollywood and what’s next for him.
