Evan Daugherty

Evan Daugherty wrote the hit film Snow White and the Huntsman starring Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron, when he was a college student at New York University. In 2010, his screenplay created a bidding war and became one of the biggest studio spec sales in years. The film was released in the summer of 2012, winning the weekend and grossing over 400 million dollars worldwide for Universal Pictures.

Daugherty followed up Snow White and the Huntsman with an adaptation of the Young Adult novel, Divergent, which opened at the number one spot in the box office in the spring of 2014.

Born in New York, Evan grew up in Dallas, Texas, in constant creative pursuit. He attended film school at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, where he studied all aspects of filmmaking before discovering screenwriting. He won the 2008 Script Pipeline Screenwriting Competition with Shrapnel, which garnered him recognition in the industry. Shrapnel and Snow White and the Huntsman made Franklin Leonard's Black List of the best un-produced screenplays in 2008 and 2010, respectively.
