ERIN C. BUCKLEY

Erin is a writer-director whose digital series PLATONIC is available on YouTube now. The New York Times called the series “a bite-size version of ‘Girls’ or ‘High Maintenance,’” and AfterEllen said, "With mellow lighting and a lively soundtrack, Buckley created an aesthetic worthy of Sofia Coppola – and on an infinitely smaller budget.” PLATONIC was nominated for The Queerties for Best Digital Series, and lead actor Summer Spiro was nominated for Best Performance | Digital Series. Erin’s short film CC DANCES THE GO-GO premiered at Frameline and played at festivals nationally and internationally. 

Erin was a fellow at MacDowell and won the Alan Ira Dusowitz Award for Best Emerging Filmmaker of Short Film at TIGLFF. She has produced or developed her plays at Powerhouse, The Lark, The Alchemical, Dixon Place, Williamstown, The Habitat, and Stable Cable. Her original scripts include ASHRAM, PRODUCT, SISTREN, SECOND ACT PROBLEMS, OLDER LADY, PLATONIC, UNAVAILABLE, CC DANCES THE GO-GO, GUIDANCE, & PARASOCIAL.

Erin is currently writing a novella called COVER and a collection of short stories called REHEARSAL, which includes HUMILIATION STATION and PANTS ROLE. She was raised by an actress and trained as an actor; in Erin’s projects, roles for actresses are plentiful and female and LGBTQ stories are primary. MFA: Yale School of Drama. BA: Stanford University.
