Hi, I’m Eric Stumpf, an award-winning screenwriter and development professional. My work has placed in the Top 15% of the Nicholl Fellowship, earned recognition from the Sundance Screenwriters Lab, and I’ve been a quarterfinalist in the American Zoetrope and Austin Film Festival screenplay contests, as well as winner of the Golden Reel Award at Shockfest. I’ve developed 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 consult on scripts to help writers elevate their work through deep story analysis and actionable notes. Earlier in my career I cut my teeth at Nickelodeon Studios as a segment producer and associate producer—booking talent, writing scripts, and managing fast-paced production schedules. That experience informs my ability to write for production and to collaborate under pressure. I love breaking down stories with writers and delivering actionable feedback that elevates the narrative. I’m open to development, script consulting, and writing opportunities across film, television, and digital media.
