Eric White
Eric spent thirty years in high-tech, having worked eleven of those years in various research capacities at the University of Texas at Austin and the rest of those years in various small companies. He also taught graduate school in the University of Texas’ Software Engineering program.
Eric retired from high technology and became an author and then screenwriter. While authoring his book, “Steampunk Bomber” (no longer available) he realized he didn’t like writing books but that the content thereof came out as scenes on the screen. He wrote the award-winning TV Pilot, “Vapor”, then two award-winning short screenplays from it (Vapor First Colonists and The Blue Suit) and things took off from there. Five Feature, four Short, and two TV Pilot screenplays later, Eric has amassed over thirty awards at screenplay and film festival competitions. Eric is a military brat, having lived on four continents and four U.S. states while growing up and currently resides on the Florida panhandle with his wife Melissa -- no kids, but beagles. |
And now..."in his own words"...
Professional freelance screenwriter, intent on developing my material and selling it, while writing for others. Most of my screenplays have won awards, so I seem to be decent at it. I have worked in Horror, Science Fiction, Steampunk, Superhero, Comedy and Fantasy -- not much of a drama king. I like to break social models, so tend to have female leads.
I have accumulated thirty screenplay awards, spread unevenly over four Features, five Shorts and two Pilots -- Officially Selected are not counted. Eric has three college degrees, is a military-brat, has a few artificial joints, and is retired from high-tech. Married for over 30 years – no kids, but beagles – he and wife, Melissa, live on the Florida panhandle. I wrote a novel, "Steampunk Bomber" (SB), based on my Dad's experiences as a Radio Operator on B-17s flying missions over Europe during WW2. One thing I learned while writing the novel as that I don't like writing novels. However, I derived several screenplays from it. I rewrote SB but am not going to-republish it as a novel, I'm combining the aforementioned screenplays into a Graphic Novel, "Vapor". I am going to crowdfund the remaining ~100 pp of the graphic novel artwork in 2021. The SB-derived TV Pilot "Vapor" was a Finalist at Filmmatic's TV Pilot awards, one of the Short screenplays ("Vapor First Colonists") was a Semifinalist at Filmmatic's Short screenplay awards and the other Short screenplay ("The Blue Suit") won awards at several other competitions. My Horror Short "Blind Vampire" (BV) has sufficient awards to make it tedious to list. There is a flipbook on my profile here that shows the laurels. I do not show the Officially Selected laurels. I had to abort my 2020 crowdfunding plans for BV production b/c of Covid, and I'm seeking a Producer/Director to team with me to restart that effort. 
The Feature version of BV, "Scent of Blood", received a "Recommend" from Screewriting Staffing and won Best Feature Screenplay at the After Hour Film Festival. SoB is remarkable and available. My co-writer, Rachel Fischer, is an award-winning screenplay writer herself and actually beat me at the Filmmatic TV Pilot awards.
I have great stuff of my own imagination (or haze) but if I can sink my teeth into someone else's script in need of a page 1 or if there is an outline I can work from -- or even a brain hiccup -- I like that too. It's challenging to get into someone else's mind about a story but if they end up happy with what I create that's the most important thing... and wealth, yes, great wealth. |
