Darren Lemke

Darren Lemke co-wrote the screenplay for the hit animated comedy adventure "Shrek Forever After," the fourth installment of the blockbuster "Shrek" franchise, and for the upcoming animated feature comedy "Turbo," the story of a snail that dreams about racing in the Indy 500, scheduled for a summer 2013 release.

Widely known for his work in the fantasy genre and animation, Lemke's passion for film began at an early age. At 15, the New Jersey native was already writing screenplays, and went on to pursue his love of cinema at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, where he studied both screenwriting and film. His big break came in the form of an introduction to producer Don Murphy, which led to his landing a two-picture deal at Disney. Soon after, Lemke's spec television pilot "E.I.S.," which followed a team of investigators working at the Epidemic Intelligence Service, was picked up by ABC.
