About Barry

Born and raised in L.A., Barry J. Tidwell is an introverted nerd at heart, with a candy-coated shell that exudes confidence—a confidence nurtured by his career as a Disney Dancer and later as a Creative Producer for live events in Las Vegas. He is a self-published author and graphic novelist who has honed his screenwriting skills through Roadmap Writers. He has achieved high placements in several screenwriting contests, including being a semifinalist in ScreenCraft’s Fellowship. As an openly gay African American screenwriter, his portfolio includes LGBTQ+ stories woven into unique worlds with edgy comedy, aiming to spark crossover curiosity across demographics and ensure that queer visibility extends beyond queer-centric audiences.

    Life's A Witch, Honey Budget: $1M - $5M | Fantasy Comedy At the dawn of silly culture wars, unbeknownst to society, a far spicier conflict is simmering as the underworld declares a supernatural showdown against all witches.
