​

As a screenwriter, Flynn writes genre bending comedies about family, relationships and all of the wonderful idiosyncrasies they create. His scripts have performed well in numerous competitions (Nicholl, BlueCat, Shore Scripts, Screencraft, etc…) 

​

Originally a northeastern Ohioan, Flynn left the blue skies and mild climate of his home state to pursue a career in animation in the dark, dank gloom of southern California. He currently lives in Burbank with his wife and son (and miniature beagle) with whom he pretends to know about parenting and uses big, adult words chimerically out of context.
