Video Game Art by Nic Kelman

Kelman was born in the United States to an American father and a British mother, and grew up in both countries. Kelman earned a Bachelor of Science in Brain and Cognitive Science and a Minor in Cinema and Media Studies from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He graduated early in 1993, despite being a member of the 1994 class. After that, he went to Brown University and earned a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing-Fiction. When Kelman's first novel, girls, was published in hardback by Little, Brown and Company in 2003, it was named a Best Novel of the Year by the San Francisco Chronicle and the New York Journal News.

Steven Spielberg bought Kelman's debut script, Genneris, from Dreamworks Pictures in 2011. Kelman has since authored original screenplays for Warner Brothers, Paramount Pictures, and Roland Emmerich, among other prominent studios and directors. The author is based in Los Angeles, California.
