Writer Biography - Steve Brown

Steve Brown, a graduate of the UCLA Professional Program in Screenwriting, holds dual degrees in Journalism and English from the University of Arizona. In 2023, he transitioned from corporate copywriting (for well-known brands such as Nintendo and Kaplan Test Prep) to pursue his passion for film and TV. Today, he dedicates his time entirely to screenwriting, with a focus on mysterious, cerebral, sci-fi storytelling. Steve’s works, while always grounded in science, take a deep dive into quantum physics, collective consciousness, astrophysics, mysticism, ancient symbology, and more.

Finally, Steve has garnered acclaim, winning more than 100 awards in less than two years. His teleplay, THE AGE OF THE EMPATH, was the "#1 Sci-Fi Television (One-Hour)" script on Coverfly from May-October 2024. Notably, this was his second teleplay to reach #1 this year.
