Mr. O'Toole's work as script consultant has brought him work with such producers and directors as Sydney Pollack, George A. Romero, Guillermo Del Toro, Dan Curtis, Hector Elizondo, Mickey Borofsky, Howard Kazanjian and Neil Marshall, among others. He studied extensively with UCLA's Chairman of Screenwriting Richard Walter and was a member of the Player's Workshop of the Second City in Chicago. Over 20 years of screenwriting and producing career, Mr O'Toole rebooted the werewolf genre with Dog Soldiers, combined horror with comedy in Cemetery Gates, and was one of the first independent filmmakers to use a computer generated character in SleepStalker. In 2007, Mr. O'Toole wrote and produced his first digital films: the zombie actioner Evilution and the thriller Basement Jack. His films have received numerous awards from U.S. and International film festivals. Outside the horror genre, Mr. O'Toole has co-produced the festival favorite Neo Ned and the action thriller Death Valley. His script for Atlas Shrugged: Part I, co-written with John Aglialoro, did not prevent that film's failure. Beyond film, he also, for a period of seven years, wrote a monthly column for Fangoria magazine since 2005, commenting on the world of video gaming.
