Ery (pronounced “air-y”) loves getting things done. His writing superpower involves being able to go over 9000. He started set work at age 17; as a “Hollywood Brat” in the indiefilm circuit, he learned virtually every crew position, and grew to be a specialist producer in ultra-low-budget projects. In the early 00s, Ery became disabled and was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease -he spent the next years consulting for the publishingindustry, helping writers and agents get their books turned into films. In the current timeline, Ery juggles being a freelance writer, a political speechwriter, a #StartWith8Hollywood mentor, and an advocate for issues including disabilities and diversity.
