Portrait of screenwriter Adam Wieherdt
Canadian Screenwriter • Film & Television

Stories about people, places, and the communities that shape them.

I’m a British Columbia-based screenwriter developing original television and feature projects across comedy, drama, mystery, animation, and speculative fiction. My work centres on ensemble casts, emotional continuity, and settings audiences want to return to.

About

I write character-driven stories about belonging, memory, identity, creativity, and the complicated ways people build a home with one another.

My projects range from grounded ensemble comedy and drama to animation, mystery, historical adventure, and speculative fiction. Across genres, I’m drawn to stories with strong emotional foundations, distinct characters, and worlds capable of continuing beyond a single episode or film.
