RHETT GERVAIS

Rhett Gervais is a Canadian author, speaker, and filmmaker, and the founder of Rum Baby Studios. He is best known for his Amazon best-selling historical fantasy series The Last Witch of Rome, a cinematic story world that blends ancient history with myth, power, and survival.

​

In addition to his work in fantasy, Rhett is the creator of the dystopian science fiction series Children of the Spear, expanding his storytelling into darker, future-driven narratives. His writing is defined by a strong visual sensibility, with stories built not only for the page, but with adaptation to screen in mind.

In 2019, Rhett was a TEDx speaker, where he explored the cultural and societal impact of cable news, examining how modern media shapes perception, division, and public discourse.

​

Building on the success of his books, Rhett is now the writer and director of The Last Witch of Rome television series, bringing the story into a fully realized cinematic format. Through Rum Baby Studios, he is focused on independent, creator-driven production — developing projects across books, film, and digital platforms.

His work sits at the intersection of literature and film, with a focus on immersive worldbuilding, strong visual storytelling, and the creation of original intellectual property designed to move seamlessly between mediums.
