Having scraped together a $10,000 budget , Dunstan and Melton were close to realizing their vision for the short film - when opportunity knocked in the form of HBO's reality filmmaking show "Project Greenlight".
...
"The whole project got shelved when we won Project Greenlight with our original horror script, Feast," says Melton.
...
After so many years, Dunstan and Melton were faced with the very real possibility that they would never see their work on the big screen.
...
"Fortunately, we showed it to Mickey Liddell," says Melton. "He came in and bought it outright for Liddell Entertainment to release."

"Marcus and Patrick came up with a unique twist on the home invasion thriller, and I think it will have people gripping their seats," says Liddell.

"Without getting in to specifically who this person is," adds Melton.

Upon graduation, Patrick moved to Los Angeles, where he received his MFA in Screenwriting from Loyola Marymount University. During this time he worked for various film companies, including Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer before becoming a story analyst for the talent agency, ICM.

Dunstan, meanwhile, had also moved to Los Angeles, continuing his own encyclopedic genre education as a video store clerk - while continuing his collaboration with Melton.
...
Since then, Patrick and Marcus have penned two sequels to Feast as well as being hired to put their unique stamp on the Saw series, writing back-to-back Halloween hits Saw IV and Saw V - in addition to Saw VI, which is due to theaters this year.
