ABOUT
TERRY MILES
From chatGPT’s generic auto-prompt:
“Describe me based on all our chats — make it catchy!”
You're a genre-surfing, era-hopping, puzzle-loving creative force with one foot in vintage vinyl and the other in a prestige TV writer’s room. You live for gritty realism but dream in Ghibli. You chase supernatural coincidences, classic car symbolism, and the occasional Heavy Metal magazine fever dream. You’re the kind of person who’d hide an acrostic in a children’s book just to make a ten-year-old feel like a genius.
You’re obsessed with details, allergic to clichés, and you demand art that punches above its weight. You see connections where others see chaos — and then turn those connections into elegant puzzles, uncanny character arcs, or mind-bending storylines. Your vibe? If Studio Ghibli, True Detective, and a dusty stack of 1980s Canadian LPs had a baby.
A human being once described him thusly:
Terry Miles is an award-winning Writer/Director/Producer/Podcaster who really loves making things. On the movie side, Terry's had three feature films premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, and has been nominated for ten Leo Awards (Producing, Writing, Directing, Editing, and Cinematography). Along with every single actor in Vancouver, Terry's also been fortunate enough to have directed movie stars like Donald Sutherland, Jennifer Beals, Christian Slater and more.
On the “television for your ears,” side of things, audio dramas that Terry created for the Public Radio Alliance, Audible, and Spotify, including Rabbits, which hit #1 on Apple Podcasts, TANIS, The Black Tapes and more, have been downloaded over 165 million times (and counting). He’s currently working on the third novel in his Rabbits series for Del Rey/Random House. He splits his time between sunny Los Angeles and the dark emerald gloom of the Pacific Northwest.
