Available to hire
I’m Eric Stumpf, an award-winning screenwriter and development consultant with a passion for crafting high-stakes stories and collaborating under pressure. My work has placed in the Nicholl Fellowship Top 15%, earned recognition from the Sundance Screenwriters Lab, and won the Golden Reel Award at Shockfest. I develop pilots, features, and pitch decks for production companies across the U.S. and Europe, and I currently write for a major NBA-themed YouTube channel with 214K+ subscribers. I also mentor writers, offering deep story analysis and practical notes to elevate scripts. Earlier in my career I cut my teeth at Nickelodeon Studios, where I built production experience in segment and associate roles, booking talent, writing scripts, and managing fast-paced schedules.
