John Erle Mundle was born and raised in New Brunswick where he made a short film at the NBFC in the early 90s before moving to Vancouver to attend film school and pursue a screenwriting career.

His feature screenplay set in Oromocto, Teenage Wasteland, was a two-time winner of the Praxis Screenwriters' Fellowship, now known as the Whistler Screenwriters' Lab. The script was further developed with the help of mentors Dennis Foon (Little Criminals) and Alan Di Fiore (Da Vinci's Inquest). An American-ized TV Pilot version of Teenage Wasteland won the Scriptapalooza TV Writing Competition. His work was featured in the Alibi Unplugged Cold Reading series, where he later worked as part of the script evaluation committee. Most importantly, he was once re-tweeted by Steve Martin.

After pursuing a screenwriting career in his spare time for a decade, he put his writing on hold while running an internet radio station called Dynamic Range Radio which had 10,000 simultaneous listeners at its peak and received a seal of approval from Lou Reed shortly before his death.

John is now residing outside Rexton while caring for his elderly father, special needs sister, and her seven cats. He has several feature-length and short scripts in various stages of development and is hoping to re-focus on his writing career, if the cats will leave him alone long enough.
