Ed Falcon

I am a multinational writer and filmmaker based in Canada. After growing up immersed in classic Hollywood, Mexican and International cinema, I graduated top of my class with a Bachelor's Degree in Cinema & Photography, along with a Minor in Writing, from Ithaca College (Ithaca, NY). I have spent my professional career in many areas of the media and entertainment industry. During the last few years, I have concentrated on screenwriting, achieving over 80 placements at writing competitions in several countries.

My short films have screened at 30 film festivals around the world and appeared on TV (including Cinemax). An animatic storyboard of one of my scripts was one of 11 semi-finalists competing for a $100,000 USD prize at Amazon Studios in its launch year.  Backed by my experience in sound recording and post-production, I turned recently to audio drama to produce my stories and share them with an audience.

I see writing and directing as two halves of the storytelling process, so I write as a filmmaker. Every script I choose to write on spec is extremely personal to me, but it's also a worthy story to be told and shared with worldwide audiences that seek alternatives to the repetitive and uninspired mainstream that bombards screens of all sizes. I'm a storyteller and want my stories to appeal to the intellect and reach for the soul. My interest in the fantastic is not to escape reality, but to deconstruct it. The thing that makes fiction as true as reality is emotion. If the writer feels it, if the performer feels it and if the audience feels it, then it's true.
