THE MILLER BROTHERS

I first met Logan and Noah Miller (aka "The Miller Brothers) back when I was working as a Creative Executive at Mace Neufeld Productions and they were working to break into Hollywood as screenwriters.
In the years since, they've gone on to distinguish themselves as the writers, producers, directors, and stars of "Touching Home," a personal film based on their relationship with their father, who passed away before filming began and was later portrayed by Academy Award-nominee, Ed Harris, in the film itself. I missed the film's premiere while I was in Hong Kong last summer, but I've been hearing great things and, if film festival accolades are any indication, it's quite a gem.
Amazingly, the Millers also found the time to write "Either You're In Or You're In The Way," a book about the making of their film, and sold it to Harper. I'd probably be insane with jealousy, if I didn't already know how insanely hard these guys have worked to turn their dreams into reality. The book (pictured below) will be released tomorrow here in the States and will be available on Amazon.

Personally, I haven't seen Noah and Logan since a friend's wedding a while back, but I have a feeling that, as their press tour continues to heat up, I'll be seeing a lot more of them from now on. Just this very morning, in fact, they were on the "Today Show" (see the link below).

Congratulations, guys. You deserve every good thing that comes to you.

Can't hardly tell theys brothers!

No, jealousy's never fruitful but you can't be jealous of guys who work so hard they make their own breaks.

Same as Jaine, I'll keep my eyes open.

Dax Phelan was born in St. Louis, MO on July 8, 1975. He graduated from St. Louis Country Day School in 1994 and then moved to Dallas, TX, in order to pursue a BA in Pre-Med (Biology) at Southern Methodist University.

It was during his first semester at university that Phelan, a film lover since childhood, began writing his first screenplay. The screenwriting bug took hold over Phelan. He eventually dropped out of the Pre-Med program and enrolled in some Cinema
and English Literature classes – and the rest, as they say, is history.

Phelan graduated with BAs in Communication Arts: Cinema and English Literature with a Creative Writing Specialization in 1997 and then moved to Los Angeles, CA to attend graduate school at the American Film Institute in 1998.

During the summer of 1999, Phelan began working as a development intern for veteran producer Mace Neufeld (“The Omen,” “No Way Out,” “The Hunt For Red October,” etc.) at Paramount Pictures.

In 2000, when Phelan graduated from the American Film Institute with an MFA in Screenwriting, Neufeld hired him as Story Editor under his new first look deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment. In 2001, Neufeld promoted Phelan to Creative Executive. During his tenure at Mace Neufeld Productions, Phelan worked on such projects as “The General’s Daughter,” “The Sum of All Fears,” and “Asylum.”

In 2003, after selling his first screenplay, Phelan left Mace Neufeld Productions, in order to write full-time.

Since then, Phelan has written both original work and adaptations in a variety of genres, trying to work on whatever project excites him the most at the moment. Some of his credits include:
