Biography
Travis Mills was born in Quito, Ecuador. He spent the majority of his early life abroad in Europe and Africa before returning to the United States. In the U.S., he settled in Arizona where he co-founded Running Wild Films in 2010 with playwright Gus Edwards. Since then, they have produced over 25 feature films and more than 100 short film projects. In 2020, he completed production on his most ambitious project yet: 12 feature-length Western films in 12 Months. The next year, he published a book which is available on Amazon about this experience titled The Making of 12 Westerns: Or How I Made a Dozen Movies During a Global Pandemic and Survived. During 2021, Mills also collaborated with producer Dallas Sonnier on the Gina Carano-starring Western, TERROR ON THE PRAIRIE. He collaborated again with Dallas Sonnier as one of the lead producers on the historical/fantasy TV series THE PENDRAGON CYCLE. During 2024, his screenplay THIEVES HIGHWAY was produced as a feature film starring Aaron Eckhart. Also during 2024, Mills directed and produced a new Western titled FRONTIER CRUCIBLE starring William H. Macy, Armie Hammer, and Thomas Jane.
