I tell the stories we bury in silence. I’m a poet and screenwriter making work that explores mental health, identity, and healing through deeply personal and experimental visuals.
Erin Cuellar is a published poet, author, and emerging screenwriter whose work explores the intersections of trauma, mental health, identity, and transformation.
Her debut poetry film Demons and her TV pilot Journey Through the Dark have both been selected at multiple international film festivals, including Indie Short Fest, MegaFlix Awards, and Pickering International Film Festival.
With roots in the industrial world and a voice honed through recovery and resilience, Erin’s creative vision blends raw emotional depth with poetic structure. She’s currently developing a limited series adaptation of Journey Through the Dark and expanding her creative reach into hybrid storytelling, memoir, and visual poetry.
Erin’s mission: to hold a light up in the dark, and tell the stories we’re often too afraid to speak aloud.
