Eric Lotter is a Massachusetts‑based screenwriter and author who specializes in high-stakes sci‑fi thrillers and character-driven narratives. Known for tactical realism, immersive world-building, and cinematic storytelling, his work often explores intense conflicts and ethical dilemmas against grand backdrops.
His flagship project, Recapture/Nexus, is a military-political space thriller that blends the realism of The Expanse, the mythic intrigue of Dune, and the strategic tension of The Hunt for Red October. The screenplay has already drawn attention—selected at the 2025 Massachusetts Independent Film Festival and recognized as a quarterfinalist in both the 2024 StoryPros International Screenplay Contest and the 2024 Filmatic Sci‑Fi/Fantasy Awards Season 2.
Eric’s talent extends to writing emotionally compelling short scripts. His screenplay Guardrails earned the Best Sci‑Fi Script award at the Critic’s Choice International Film Fest and became a finalist in multiple writing contests, while A Daylong Day also reached finalist status at Coverfly.
Active in the writing community, Eric maintains a profile on platforms like Stage 32, where he engages in screenwriting discussions and participates in festivals and competitions—most recently sharing about festival experiences and accolades such as Guardrails advancing in the StoryPros Awards.
Currently, Eric is seeking representation and production partners to adapt Recapture/Nexus into a premium streaming sci‑fi series with franchise potential.
