Gregory Small and Richard Blaney
Greg and Rich first worked together in the 1990s on the family TV series “Okavango,” produced by Gibraltar Entertainment – the company founded by the producers of Valley Girl and Night of the Comet -- where Greg was the VP of Production. True to many independent productions, Greg and Rich, and only one other writer, Carlos Brooks, wrote nearly all of the 52 half-hour episodes in 2 years. The series became one of FX’s early hits.
Greg and Rich became writing partners soon thereafter, working on a multitude of projects for companies such as Nicholas Cage’s Saturn Films, Ron Underwood’s Stampede Entertainment, Neil Moritz‘s Original Films, and Eddie Murphy Productions.
In 2010, DreamWorks bought their thriller screenplay, Someone In The Dark, in a preemptive bid, with Gavin Polone producing, and in 2011, they sold another spec thriller, Playing Dirty, to Millennium Entertainment. That exposure led to new writing opportunies, including The Lifetime Network’s 2nd highest-rated movie of 2013, Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret. Its success paved the way for Greg and Rich to create and executive-produce Lifetime’s limited series The Lizzie Borden Chronicles, for which they wrote 4 of the 8 hourlong episodes.
Since then, the partners have written 10 movies for the network, including Sleeping With Danger, Secrets of a Marine’s Wife, Ruby and Pearl in the Mist (both based on books by VC Andrews), and Gone Mom.
Greg is a graduate of Brown University and USC’s Peter Stark Motion Picture Producing Program, and Rich is not a graduate of either of those and damn proud of it.
