Fade in.

I’m Brendan Wanderer, a scriptwriter, illustrator, podcaster, and author. I believe that small communities and self-reflection will lead us forward. I was born in a small town in Alberta, and I don't live there anymore.
I am still seeking my village.

 

I humbly acknowledge that I am an uninvited settler on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish and Snuneymuxw peoples, the traditional stewards of this land whose rich storytelling is now impacting my own.

​

When I was young, I nearly stepped into the Grand Canyon because I wanted to see what lay beyond the edge. As an adult living with autism, I am constantly finding ways to test my environment and to never cease
from exploration. 

 

I am a fourth-year creative writing and visual arts student at Vancouver Island University. I previously graduated  from Nova Scotia Community College with an Honours Diploma in Screen Arts. My short film Leave Pizza Here was a selection in the 2016 Atlantic Film Festival. I have a deep love of graphic novels and I am actively working on writing and illustrating two volumes. My short film script The Talk is featured in the 2022 issue of Portal magazine.

​

Today, I am living with my wife and two children in Nanaimo, BC (where we are always busy planning our next big adventure).
