Marcus Ostermiller

As a gay ex-Mormon, a 20-year survivor of HIV/AIDS and conversion therapy, and a Ph.D. classical pianist who has performed in Carnegie Hall… Marcus Ostermiller writes grounded David and Goliath pilots and features about flawed queer underdogs who confront daunting foes ranging from terminal illness to billionaire douchebags. Candid and sincere, yet equal parts dark and comical, his stories are rooted in worlds that are queer, musical, sexy, and illustrative of social power structures.

Marcus’ pilot CUT TIME is a semifinalist in the 2024 ScreenCraft Screenwriting Fellowship, TSL Free Screenplay Competition, Nantucket Film Festival Tony Cox Screenplay Competition, and Scriptation Showcase.
