Hi everyone,
I’m Kieran, a screenwriter based in Toronto. I’ve written around five original scripts so far, primarily focusing on character-driven stories and grounded drama.I’m currently studying Cinema Studies at the University of Toronto, which has really shaped the way I think about structure, theme, and film history, and how those ideas translate into writing on the page.
I joined Stage 32 to connect with other writers, keep learning, and be part of a community that takes the craft seriously. Always happy to talk writing, development, feedback, or process — feel free to reach out.
Looking forward to connecting.
— Kieran

Welcome, Kieran!
I'm drawn towards character-driven, grounded drama, always harder than it looks. Cinema Studies is a great lens for structure and theme too.
What kind of stories are you most drawn to writing right now?
