WRITER. DIRECTOR. DAREDEVIL.
Erin Brown Thomas is a genre-fluid writer/director whose work lives in the emotional gray zones—centering dysfunctional relationships, seductive manipulation, and the tension between performance and authenticity. Her stories unfold like Trojan horses: disarmingly funny until they gut you.
Her latest project, CHASERS—an ambitious 30-minute continuous oner—made history as the first narrative accepted into both Sundance and Slamdance. It also screened at SXSW Sydney and won Best TV at HollyShorts. Erin has been named an Artist in Residence at Palm Springs ShortFest, received a juried award at Cinequest, and screened at AMPAV at Cannes. She will soon direct And Also With You, supported by a Mark Duplass grant.
Erin served as an Associate Producer on The Singers (2026), an Academy Award–winning film that premiered at SXSW and Tribeca and screened at Clermont-Ferrand.
A Nicholl Fellowship Semifinalist, Erin ranks in the top 0.07% of comedy projects on the Coverfly Red List. As co-founder of the Salute Your Shorts Film Festival, she champions emerging filmmakers.
