Hey, I’m
Erin Sopapunta
Screenwriter
about me
A flawed person who learns they are worthy and capable of love. They're queer, sarcastic, and sexy as hell.
​
But enough about me!
​
The characters I create, along with the worlds I build and the ways I live my life, are multidimensional, fun, and unique. Like a delicious popsicle made of adorable kittens.
​
Talk about a sticky situation.
