James Ward Byrkit Biography
James Ward Byrkit is the visionary writer and director of the science fiction movie "Coherence," which achieved international recognition for Byrkit's audacious and boundary-pushing creativity and extreme independence.
After years of building his skillset working on major Hollywood franchises like "Pirates of the Caribbean" as a storyboard artist, Byrkit's first animated feature, "Rango," won an Academy Award.
Byrkit veered into uncharted territory making "Coherence" in his own home, without a crew and without a traditional script, stunning audiences and garnering major awards around the world. The movie kicked off the current obsession with the multiverse and spawned innumerable imitations as it redefined modern independent filmmaking for a generation.
The film is the most popular American indie of all time in China, and has been theatrically adapted for the live stage in numerous countries, with productions in Australia, Mexico, Sweden, and Argentina.

James Ward Byrkit Speaking Topics
The Journey of A Truly Independent Film that Conquered the World
Gatekeepers seem to run the game, especially for those creative ones that feel there could be a new way of doing things. For filmmaker James Ward Byrkit, the time of “submitting for approval” ended the moment he realized he truly no longer needed permission to create the way he knew he could.
Adopting a completely unorthodox new approach to producing a movie, he shot his full-length feature "Coherence" in five nights in his own house, with no script and no crew. The result was an award-winning international sensation that continues to appear on “Best Of” lists around the world. After inspiring a new generation of filmmakers, the movie now has now been adapted into a live theatrical stage play, continuing its improbable journey into a second decade of influence.
With humor, insight, deep knowledge of the craft and great candor, James shares the story of this remarkable project, from inception to initial release, from improbable execution to overwhelming reception. Along the way, innovators, creators, artists, and dreamers from every sector find something deeply inspiring in it all. Because the spirit behind the making of "Coherence" is the same spark of inspiration that all potential innovators hold.
