Eric Lotter
@eric-writes.bsky.social
Writer of thrillers that twist the mind and break the rules. Obsessed with identity, control, and what we leave behind. Psychological. Philosophical. Always cinematic. https:///www.lotterverse.com
Two of my favorite scripts have been selected as Finalists for Best Unproduced Feature Narrative Screenplay at the 9th Annual Mystic Film Festival. Honored the readers/judges have selected my work a second year in a row. #scriptsky
A good day in the Lotterverse! Proud to share the first laurels for The Third Time I Met the Devil. Coverage from an independent 3rd party. #scriptsky
At a game tonight. But thought I’d share these from this week. Winning. #scriptchat
#firstpagefriday #scriptsky Between rewrites of my summer features I wrote a 3 page short. “Lunch Hour” inspired by a true story.
The close of another workweek which means #FirstPageFriday! The interweb’s longest-running most-popular most-anticipated thing in all of nerdish screenwriting!* Your chance to win huge prizes!** Win respect!*** Post a page— don’t cost nuthin. #scriptsky * not really ** total BS *** get real, loser
Third page of my latest WIP. #thirdpagethursday. “The Third Time I Met the Devil”. A bunch of contest announcements headed our way tomorrow. So enjoy it before its success goes to my head #scriptsky
Having tried this one in a while and I remain a glutton for inattention so here it goes: #ThirdPageThursday! Post the third page of something. Four shalt thou not post, neither post thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. #scriptsky
Can use some happy thoughts: I have engaged with a prod co backed by a major studio to co-write a limited series. First meeting went great. Writing sample was an exact match. Additional materials were shared between parties. Decision before 8/20. #scriptsky
Very excited to share “Are You Ok?” Has been awarded an Award of Excellence for Script/Writer. Thank you to the judges and selection committee for this honor. #scriptsky
#funpagefriday this is one of my favorite scenes in “The Third Time I Met the Devil”. All subtext. 3 people who don’t say what they are thinking. #scriptsky
Buried in an email saying Semi’s will be announced on the 10th was a link to the QFs. 4255 projects. 477 QFs. Age of Aquarius is moving on! Attached feedback from the contest reader. #scriptsky congrats to @juliapearlstein.bsky.social and others! Tag yourself and be seen! This is not a small thing.
Got a full script request from one of those fancy named agencies. :-) Think happy thoughts that the reader is having a great day! #scriptsky
Had to share this feedback from a reader "A genuinely rare thing, a blues biopic that earns its mythology through ferocious prose, a Devil for the ages, and the conviction to let its hero be complicit in his own destruction; Eric Lotter writes like he's been to the crossroads himself." #scriptsky
#scriptsky after some back and forth woth the dev team and bloated 130 page draft. I have gotten it back to 108 comfortable pages. And a new #firstpagefriday same vibe but the horror comes faster! “The Devil’s Cut”
#scriptsky No one panic. Just sit down for this - I got a full script request for my latest script. Director/producer with a decent investor group behind her. I’m gonna wait a full 26 minutes before I hit send to make it look like I did not have it ready to go. Teased with excerpt from coverage.
So I missed an email. Flickers’ RIIFF selected Age of Aquarius as a Semi Finalist. Again congrats to fellow semi finalist. Final selections will be in the fall. This is pretty cool. 2 scripts selected. I may have to check out the fest next month. #scriptsky
This is very cool. Flickers’ RIIFF has advanced Monitor as a Semi Finalist. Final rounds are in the fall. This one has some prestige to it. Honored for the selection. Good luck to all of the other projects that have advanced! #scriptsky
It’s f’ it #firstpagefriday. Here is page one of my latest. And the first Dev Reader feedback. This is a dangerous project! #scriptsky
So this happened last night! As a self-taught guitar player (and a self-taught screenwriter) this story was challenging to research and incredibly fun to write. I sent it off to readers and early feedback is encouraging. The world knows this story. But not Devil’s version. #scriptsky
Excited to share my latest supernatural thriller has been named a finalist in Cannes Script Festival Summer 2026! This is a new project with minor tweaks every day. But it is a solid story that will be a mid-budget award adjacent project for the right production company! #scriptsky
#scriptsky Feedback on an earlier draft of "A Century of Rain": I have addressed some of the issues. A supernatural thriller AND art-house tragedy. I can do that. The comment about Lena coming in earlier, a fully realized co-protagonist arriving on page 60, breaks too many rules.
Update: 3 of 4 events have reported in. A Century of Rain with it’s first win in Milan. Are You Ok gets a win in Florence! #scriptsky
What am I I doing? Breaking a historical biopic around a supernatural framing. I may have a feature draft by the end of the month. #scriptsky

Great day in the lotterverse! My latest feature script is getting some love. And my dark vigilante script is standing out too. These Official selections are eligible for advancement this weekend so cross your fingers and toes! #scriptsky
#firstpagefriday - 3 scripts! Brandnew A Century of Rain, 3 selections today in various contests. Are You Okay- hasn’t missed yet! And The Devil’s Cut- got word last night that we have been green-lit for POC production. #scriptsky
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one writer to dismiss the self-respect which has kept them silent and unnoticed, and this happens at the end of a workweek, we declare this as #FirstPageFriday and do impel themself and others to post a page from a project. 🇺🇸 #Scriptsky 🇺🇸
Readers are loving my latest feature script. I have a couple of structural decisions to make. A linear, lonely century as written or tell less of the years as flashbacks. #scriptsky
#scriptsky #firstpagefriday #firsttenpages Excited to share the opening 10 pages of my latest supernatural thriller “A Century of Rain” After being cursed with immortality and a lethal touch in the trenches of WWI, a man spends a century searching for the one person who can hold him without dying.
#scriptsky This was a blast to write. A supernatural thriller. “A Century of Rain” “After being cursed with immortality and a lethal touch in the trenches of WWI, a man spends a century searching for the one person who can hold him without dying."
#scriptsky So this came in today! I don’t need to tell you how excited this makes me. This is a dangerous script. 2 female leads. A tough/timely story and one that can be made at ANY BUDGET! Read all about it: lotterverse.com/NewsArticle?...
This is pretty cool! Age of Aquarius was named a Quarter Finalist in the Page Turner Top 100! Congrats to all who entered. #scriptsky
