Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox writer Elan Mastai is a Canadian screenwriter and novelist. He is best known for The F Word, for which he won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2nd Canadian Screen Awards in 2014.[1]
His other screenwriting credits include MVP: Most Vertical Primate and Fury.[2] He has described The F Word as the first time he wrote a screenplay in his own voice, rather than to the commercial demands of a mass-audience film.[3]
He was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia,[4] to a Canadian mother and an Israeli immigrant father. Both his parents are Jewish, and they met in Jerusalem.[5] He studied film at Queen's University[6] and Concordia University.[4]
In 2015, Mastai secured a $1.25 million deal for his debut novel, All Our Wrong Todays.[7] A science fiction novel, the book concerns a man from an alternate history utopia who, while part of a time travel experiment, causes a drastic alteration of his history, and regains consciousness in our society. The novel was published on February 7, 2017.[8] In 2017 he was described as working on a screenplay for All Our Wrong Todays, and working on a second novel.[9]
Mastai is supervising producer and staff writer of NBC's This Is Us.[10]
