My name is Erica Pawluk. I have cerebral palsy and weighed 14 ounces when I was born! At the time of my birth in 1993, I was the smallest baby to ever survive at the size of 14 ounces in my home state of SC.  I earned a Bachelor's degree in Media Arts from the University of South Carolina in 2017. I'm a screenwriter, story writer, and filmmaker.

 

I was thirteen when I realized I wanted to create stories for a living. I grew up in a very creative family and they supported me from day one! What I like best about screenwriting is crafting the dialogue. Where do my ideas come from? I have vivid dreams. I keep the story in my head and then put it on paper. I sit down and start typing without having to think about what I'm writing-it comes naturally to me. What I hope to do through my work is inspire my audience!

There are not a lot of disabled people working in Hollywood, either in front of the camera, behind it, or backstage. 

​

My other interests include listening to music, hanging out with my friends and my family, swimming,   loving on my two dogs-my beautiful American Staffordshire Stormi and incredible chocolate pitbull lab named Tali. I love to read and watch TV and films so I can learn. Two of my favorites are The Good Doctor and Heartland.
