CALEB COFFEY - SCREENWRITER

“Caleb Coffey is a screenwriter and filmmaker whose work explores the darkly comic, soulful, and often absurd edges of the American experience. Creator of Silver City, In the Valley of the Moon, Un Cut, The Last Best Place, and The Westward Sun, Coffey blends wry humor with emotional depth and a sharp eye for human folly. His stories evoke the spirit of classic Americana through a modern, Coen Brothers–inspired lens.”

UN CUT

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.

An overturned whiskey bottle and pills are in the foreground, with the text "In the Valley of the Moon" in the bottom right corner.

In the Valley of the Moon follows Jenny Adams, a young girl growing up under the big skies of Montana, raised by her kind but weary Uncle Rick after her mother, Alice, spirals into madness and addiction. Rick teaches Jenny the beauty and discipline of horses, and through her beloved horse Bear, she learns freedom, trust, and purpose as a gifted barrel racer. But when her mother’s chaos invades their fragile peace—culminating in a violent breakdown and suicide attempt—Jenny flees into the night on Bear, only to lose him in a tragic accident that shatters her spirit. Years later, following the same path of addiction that destroyed her mother, Jenny must confront her own darkness and find redemption in the quiet valley where love, loss, and forgiveness all began—In The Valley of the Moon.

The image is a painting titled 'Silver City' featuring three cowboys riding horses towards a small town in a mountainous landscape. A large woman's face floats in the sky, smiling, with a playing card, the Queen of Clubs, near her face. The scene has a warm, golden-hued palette.

After a long, dusty cattle drive, four cowboys ride into Silver City to spend their hard-earned money and chase their small-town dreams. Walter Mason’s got his heart set on marrying Laura—the woman he met there two years ago, though he’s in deep denial she’s a whore. Tennessee Ted plans to drink and gamble himself into legend, his quiet tagalong Tom Hardy just follows his lead, and Ned Keller, the kind-hearted Christian who’s never left the county, feels a chill he can’t explain. What they find in Silver City isn’t silver in the streets—but a wicked little town where love costs by the hour, luck runs out quick, and dreams go to die.

The Westward Sun is a stylish, darkly romantic crime drama set amid the gilded decadence of 1925 Miami. Harry and Lilly Mason — a fading married couple drifting through sun-drenched mediocrity — find their passion reignited when Lilly’s affair with a powerful socialite spirals into violence, and the two unexpectedly become fugitives with a suitcase full of cash. As gangsters close in and old wounds resurface, the pair are forced to confront their betrayals and rediscover the fragile beauty of love and forgiveness. Blending the lush visual allure of The Great Gatsby with the tragic irony of No Country for Old Men, The Westward Sun is a haunting portrait of love found too late — and the fleeting glow before darkness.

Set in the desolate plains of post-collapse Wyoming, The Last Best Place follows Hamlin, a broken ex-cowboy living alone in a ghost town, haunted by the loss of his wife. When he intercepts a desperate radio call from a mother and her young daughter stranded without water, he takes them in—only to discover that salvation still has a price. As danger closes in from roving marauders and his own guilt resurfaces, Hamlin must decide if he’s still capable of protecting something good in a world that’s lost all mercy.

The Last Best Place is a modern frontier survival story—equal parts No Country for Old Men and The Road—that explores redemption, resilience, and the faint heartbeat of hope in the ruins of civilization.
