Eric Wandrey is an emerging screenwriter with a master's degree in philosophy. He spent most of his 20’s as a monastic preparing for the Catholic priesthood before leaving that path to focus on his lifelong passion for writing. Drawing from his life in the seminary and his experience growing up under the influence of a traditionalist Catholic cult, his stories explore the abuse of power, clashing worldviews, and the perennial conflict between the individual and the common good. He's the oldest of nine siblings who all love each other, even though family gatherings can feel like episodes of a middle-class "Succession".
