Erin Brown Thomas is a writer , director , and producer whose latest project, C H A S E R S —a bold, 31-minute single-continuous-shot pilot—will premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and screen at Slamdance, making it the first narrative project to be accepted into both festivals. As a diplopic filmmaker , Erin literally sees everything twice, shaping her slick, visually heightened approach to "traumedies" —dramas that masquerade as comedies until delivering an emotional gut punch. Her produced credits explore vulnerability, the inner battle between self-identity and self-denial, and mental health - particularly for women reframing past trauma. Her writing also explores the perils of unchecked ambition, satirizes social imbalances, and earnestly critiques industrialized Christianity, blending tones into genre cocktails. Erin’s writing has also been recognized as a Nicholl semifinalist, with her dramedy THE BODY OF CHRIS ranked 16th out of 24,000 comedies on Coverfly’s Redlist. Beyond filmmaking, she co-founded and serves as Artistic Director of the Salute Y our Shorts Film Festival, where she champions emerging talent, solidifying her role as a leader and advocate in the independent film industry.
