John Platt - Crew

Award-winning Writer/Producer/Director, John Platt began his showbiz career right out of college as a Video Game Writer/Designer at the San Diego company RDI, which created the hit laser disc games Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. At the same time, he was continuing to write screenplays. Platt and co-writer Roy Langsdon were hired to write their first paid film script on Halloween, 1985...a talking dog movie for producer Chris Whittaker, called Police Dog. That film was never produced, but is believed to have inspired the later Jim Belushi hit K-9. The Police Dog assignment earned Platt & Langsdon their first agent, and the pair went on to write a number of low-budget feature films, including the cult-classic Lambada movie "The Forbidden Dance".
