Biography

Erin Brown Thomas’s earliest memories involve laying in bed thinking about the expansiveness of the universe. Either it ends… or doesn’t… and both seemed equally crazy to her four year old brain.  Shortly after she learned about the concept of war, her mother once found her cuddling with a globe in the middle of the night, praying for people around the world. Suuuuper emo.

Fast forward to college where Erin’s pursuit of a reverent life was equally matched by her ever-expanding irreverent sense of humor. This awkward combination made her feel ill suited for a job within a church. Thus, while double majoring in theology and philosophy, Erin made her first film (starring her now-husband Jake). The experience awoke a dormant desire and opened her to the power of storytelling to impact lives and influence culture. 

Films such as “Sympathy for Delicious,” “First Reformed,” “Lars and the Real Girl,” and “Notes on Blindness” have inspired Erin to draw upon her spirituality as fodder for mainstream stories. Drawn to the the comedic and the haunting, Erin plans to parlay her film writing and directing experience, and work towards an eventual career in miniseries, where she can marry her desire to create cinematic work with her love of serialized stories.
