Leading up to our live performance of H.G. Wells’s War of the Worlds at Escape Velocity, we’re sharing the bios of some of the people making it happen.

William R. Coughlan

Associate Artistic Director, Announcer, Artilleryman

William R. Coughlan is an award-winning screenwriter, director, and editor, and heads the independent film and video production company Tohubohu Productions. With more than two decades’ experience in independent film and corporate media production, he recently stepped into the presidency of the board of directors for TIVA, the Television, Internet and Video Association of DC. A lifelong (some may say obsessive) fan of science — both fact and fiction — Coughlan also enjoys acting, voiceover performance, design and illustration, animation, and writing autobiographical comments in the third person.
