CALEB COFFEY

Caleb Coffey is a screenwriter working across bold commercial series and prestige, character-driven films. His projects are built to travel—marketable, bingeable, and emotionally sticky.

His series work includes Street Fighter Origins, a globally recognizable, high-concept adaptation engineered for mass audiences; Masked Rider, a visually striking, artistic action saga with real soul; Silver Samurai, a sleek and brutal prequel that deepens the Masked Rider mythology; and ICE COP, a hard-hitting throwback designed as pure relief for audiences craving the raw, unapologetic ’80s action energy we grew up on.

On the feature side, Coffey writes darker, more art-forward stories. UNCUT is a sharp, Miramax-era–style Hollywood satire—funny, unsettling, and self-lacerating—about fame, delusion, and the terror of becoming irrelevant. His Montana-set films (The Last Best Place, In the Valley of the Moon, Silver City) capture the soul of the American West through a Coen Brothers–esque lens: human, ironic, and morally complicated.

He also wrote The Westward Sun, a sweeping 1920s drama set during Miami’s rum-running era—an old-school American opus about love, money, and ambition, with the feel of a film that could’ve been written in the 1950s.

An ordinary mini-mart clerk in neon-lit Tokyo becomes a viral, katana-wielding urban legend after a violent encounter with a biker gang, thrusting him into a world of gang wars, rooftop duels, and a haunting family secret — where the city itself watches as the Masked Rider rises.

Set decades before Masked Rider, Silver Samurai follows Kazua Takahashi, a calm, disciplined Japanese soldier recruited into a secret military program and bonded to an alien-powered silver armor designed for impossible missions; when the suit refuses to release him, Kazua becomes its prisoner — a ghost warrior fighting humanity’s darkest threats from the shadows, doomed to watch his son grow up from afar as unseen forces close in to reclaim what was never meant to belong to Earth.

Street Fighter Origins reimagines Ryu’s legend from birth: cast into the sea as a baby while his mother is abducted by pirates, Ryu survives, trains under fallen masters across distant islands, and rises alongside Ken under Gouken’s guidance — until a brutal five-fight bargain with evil pirates offers a chance to reclaim his mother, awakening a blue dragon power so fierce it may destroy him before it saves her.

Set in a neon-drowned Los Angeles fifty years in the future, ICE COP follows a hard-edged detective racing to stop two rival gangs from igniting a city-wide war over ICE NINE — a lethal new drug that turns users’ eyes ice blue — only to uncover a truth colder than the streets: the criminal mastermind behind it all may be his own father. With Lethal Weapon–style dark humor and a Blade Runner atmosphere, the series burns hot, hits hard, and stays cool as ice.

When a washed-up Hollywood actor stops taking his studio-issued “performance pills,” he tumbles into a delirious spiral where his new action movie, his love life, and his own psychosis blur together — a darkly funny descent that skewers fame, filmmaking, and the delusion of staying relevant in Tinseltown. 

Set in 1980s Montana, In the Valley of the Moon follows Jenny Adams, a trailer-park girl raised by a mentally ill mother and guided by an uncle who teaches her horses and the dream of barrel racing glory; when her own demons take hold, Jenny abandons everything and spirals down the same path she swore to escape—until, years later, broken and numb, she must decide whether to sober up and return to the valley where her story began, or disappear for good.

After a brutal cattle drive, four cowboys ride into Silver City chasing different hungers—love, luck, belonging, and salvation—but as the night darkens and the town’s sin-soaked allure tightens its grip, secrets surface, faith falters, and by dawn one of them will pay the ultimate price for wanting too much in a place that devours men whole.

In The Westward Sun, a fractured marriage is suddenly reignited when Lilly and her estranged husband stumble into a fortune that isn’t theirs; forced to run across a sunburned landscape of bad choices and worse people, they’re pulled into a Coen Brothers–style spiral of sharp dialogue, dark irony, and escalating danger where love, greed, and survival collide—and every mile west makes it harder to tell who they’re running from, and who they’re becoming.

In near-future Montana, where a second civil war has turned America into open wilderness, a solitary survivor receives a crackling shortwave call from a woman and her daughter hunted by violent raiders; haunted by his wife’s disappearance and his own bloody past, Hamlin Connors must choose whether to rise as a protector—or lose himself to vengeance and become just another grave marker in The Last Best Place.
