ROADKILL
Logline: Outed by his Southern Baptist church, an angsty theatre kid turned wanted arsonist embarks on a runaway mission to find his missing boyfriend, while hunted by his youth pastor and followed by a sentient armadillo.

Harrison Hamm is a dark comedy screenwriter, originally from rural Tennessee. Growing up queer and mixed race in a predominantly white Southern Baptist scene, Harrison turned to film, television, and theater as safe havens and creative outlets. During this time, Harrison discovered that laughter is a powerful resource for both healing and surviving on the margins. In turn, Harrison’s stories are driven by morbid humor, LGBTQ+ themes, and even a touch of the surreal. At 17, Harrison wrote, directed, and published his first major work - a comedic stageplay. Now based in Los Angeles, Harrison pursues dual BAs in Screenwriting and Women’s & Gender Studies at Loyola Marymount University, where he co-created and assistant teaches “Queer Television” for LMU’s School of Film and Television. Recently, Harrison has also interned for Outfest, the world’s leading LGBTQ+ film festival, empowering queer storytellers to drive meaningful social change. Honored to be named a 2022 Fellow in Diverso’s The Minority Report, Harrison looks forward to building community and writing toward justice alongside a diverse group of creatives.
