COLEMAN ANDERSEN
Video Game Writer

I'm Coleman Andersen, a writer for video games and film. I have a BA in English and Cinema Studies from the University of Washington. I've had a screenplay featured at an Oscar qualifying film festival and was selected as a YoungArts Cinematic Arts Finalist out of over 10,000 applicants.

​

Every single project I've worked on is wildly different than the last. Maybe it's a film told only from the first-person perspective, a puzzle game using machine learning, or a dating simulator with man-eating wolves. I follow my curiosity and believe it makes me a stronger storyteller. And I'm never bored.​

​

I am currently a Community Manager for the Seattle Indies game development community which has over 7000 members. Working with the community has been an amazing way to get a deep understanding of the game development process.

​

My two favorite books are Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy, and Art and Physics, by Leonard Shlain. 

 

Anna Karenina because any one of its 30+ characters are more complex than the main character of an average book.

​

Art and Physics because... what else is there, really?
