Derek Savage
Derek "Daddy Derek" Savage is a multifaceted artist known for his work as a novelist, screenwriter, director, children's author, and aspiring musician. Among his notable screenplays are "The Devil President," a romance intertwined with themes of the Second Coming, and "Midnight Stripper," which offers a glimpse into the life of a male dancer. His literary contributions include the gripping novel "Sweet Revenge," centered around a man's quest for justice against a street gang responsible for his family's murder.
Savage is particularly recognized for his children's literature, which features the beloved "Cool Cat" series, along with titles like "Trolly the Trout," "Donny the Dinosaur," "Baby Cat," and "Bible Birdie," each designed to impart wholesome values in an engaging manner. His directorial efforts include the quirky children's film "Cool Cat Saves the Kids," which introduced audiences to the titular character from his book series. This film has spawned several sequels, including "Cool Cat's Crazy Dream" and "Cool Cat vs. Dirty Dog: The Virus Wars." Currently, he is working on "Cool Cat Stops a School Shooting," a project he hopes will address the serious issue of school violence.
Savage's creative ventures extend beyond film and literature into music, with his alter ego "Hood Rat" producing rap songs. He operates two production companies, Derek Savage Productions and Cool Cat Productions, the latter focused exclusively on Cool Cat content. With over a dozen original stories, numerous Web Awards, and appearances in magazines and on television, Savage continues to promote positivity through his work. He resides in Las Vegas and enjoys practicing Kamas.
