Unlike other forms of writing, screenwriting allows Erica to break the barrier of senses not available through novels or poetry.

These responsibilities should not be taken lightly.

She is pursuing my M.F.A. in Writing and Producing for Television from Loyola Marymount University.

Erica has directed many short films, one of which was just released. Erica write scripts steeped in controversy and psychology because she believes that having the difficult conversation is better than no conversation at all. Erica overcome each obstacle through screenwriting. It is vehicle where she could apply her emotions and experiences to create intense and honest screenplays. With each script she writes, one goal is to connect to those who feel lost, lonely or do not feel at all. "I've come across many whom turn to religion, substance abuse, fitness or other outlets to give meaning to their journeys, I turn to screenwriting." Erica Sinclair
