About

Writer and mental health columnist with 150+ published pieces, currently studying Writing for Film and Television at Toronto Film School. I bring over two decades of experience in mental health advocacy, speaking, and storytelling, combining lived experience with clear, structured writing. My strengths are in script coverage, beat sheets, and story development. I am skilled at identifying what is working in a script, what is not, and how to move it forward. I am the host of the Snackable Mental Health podcast here - www.youtube.com/@snackablementalhealth , where I share short, honest conversations about mental wellness and daily life. More of my work can be found at www.brandonwhahn.ca . I am currently developing a feature screenplay, Fine Red, a contained dark comedy set in a high end Canadian winery. Open to story assistant, script reader, and development opportunities in Toronto and the GTA.
