Austin Elliott
Austin most recently worked as a Writer's Assistant and Script Coordinator for both AMERICAN HORROR STORY and its episodic anthology spinoff, AMERICAN HORROR STORIES (of which he recently co-wrote his first episode). When he’s not going to therapy due to his research, Austin is writing his own scripts centering unconventional families navigating grief together. Having grown up with a severely disabled brother and a Mom battling cancer, he’s incredibly passionate about these themes and uses stories set in obscure and dangerous crime-centered worlds to explore them. Apart from writing, Austin is always cooking something new, taking blacksmithing classes (with plans to move into blade smithing), or traveling, and he spent four years as a beekeeper assisting in wild hive relocation. His art forgery pilot STATE OF THE ART recently won the Drama Teleplay Pilot Category at the 2023 Austin Film Festival.
