Chip Warren
Writer, Filmmaker, & Occasional Investigator
I am a writer and filmmaker based in Budapest. My debut novel, With Love, Budapest, arrives in November 2026.Over one summer in Budapest, a city with scars of its own, a circle of expats and locals dance clumsily through troubled romances, finding solace in garden bars, sidewalk cafés, and long summer nights.
I also publish:
Flesh, Bone & Story: personal dispatches from Budapest;
Relevant Experience, a memoir of my strange work history;
Budapest Unscripted an audio documentary of my expat experience.
A documentary director, I am also currently working on The Unfinished Legacy of Bullet Shih. Alongside my own work, I write collaboratively and take on creative projects for clients across film and publishing.
In The Works: Wonderland Boulevard
An active five-year investigation into the homicide of Christopher Kohn and the alleged wrongful conviction of Derek Martinez.
