About Barry

Born and raised in L.A., Barry J. Tidwell is an introverted nerd at heart, disguised in 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 entertainment and events in Las Vegas. He is a self-published author and graphic novelist who has honed his screenwriting skills through Roadmap Writers’ Career Writer Program. He has achieved high placements in several screenwriting contests, including being a semifinalist in ScreenCraft’s Fellowship. As a former dancer and openly gay screenwriter, his projects are known for incorporating dance themes and weaving queer voices into unique worlds with edgy comedy that appeals to broader audiences. An approach he believes fosters true queer visibility beyond media aimed solely at queer-centric audiences.
