Harrison Hamm is a second-generation Filipino-American, Queer, AuDHD film/TV writer, publishing essayist, and poet originally from rural Tennessee, now based in Los Angeles.
His screenwriting honors include the 2024 GLAAD List x The Black List, featuring the top unproduced LGBTQ-inclusive scripts of the year, and fellowships with New York Stage & Film, Diverso, and Roadmap Writers. Mentored by showrunners and staff writers on series spanning Bridgerton, Hacks, Desperate Housewives, FUBAR, Search Party, and the upcoming animated Stranger Things series, Harrison writes screenplays driven by poetic tenderness, wry humor, cinematic action, and a touch of the surreal.
Hamm’s poetry has been featured/forthcoming in literary journals such as Poetry Magazine, The Missouri Review, Sugar House Review, Diagram, and Verse Daily in addition to the upcoming anthologies Ecobloomspaces (West Trade Review, 2025) and Poetry Goes to the Movies (Pacific Coat Poetry Series, 2025).
With goals of TV staff-writing, showrunning, penning feature scripts, and developing book-length projects in poetry, fiction, autotheory and critical analysis, Harrison focuses on bold, “genre-playful" work that centers marginalized figures on offbeat paths to self-discovery — always committed to complex affects and challenging power structures.
