About Erika

Erika Simonian is a long-time singer songwriter and musician with two comedy/dramedy scripts ready to be optioned. She is a first generation writer who sees regular life through an absurd, off-kilter lens, making her characters relatable and simultaneously hilarious. Erika is currently in production of her short film, Chinese New Year.

Unique traits: I've been a singer/songwriter and guitar player for the last 25 years with multiple gigs and recordings. These days I'm in a band with my husband called Little Silver (littlesilvermusic.com), and, for whatever it's worth, I tend to walk through the world noticing the absurdity inherent in completely normal life.

Cruising Along Comedy Fired from their jobs, two middle-aged moms spontaneously flee from their families to take refuge on a cruise ship. Though freedom at sea doesn’t quash their mid-life crisis, a host of batty staff and passengers help them re-evaluate, change and make peace with their lives.
Chinese New Year Independent A compassionate bartender and an alcoholic commodities trader are a friendship of circumstance; both of their worlds hang on by a thread but for different reasons—with money at the center.
