Ian Keldoulis

Author and Award-Winning Screenwriter

Ian is an Australian writer who has published stories in The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar, and other media outlets before going on to work in advertising, eventually running his own agency and winning ten awards for multimillion-dollar campaigns for numerous clients. As a screenwriter, his scripts for film and TV have won numerous awards at film festivals around the world.

Ian serves on the board of Downey Side, an adoption agency that gives school-age foster children a chance to be in loving, permanent families. He is also on the board of the Bronx Independent Cinema Center, advocating for a vibrant cultural hub and filmmaker incubator in a borough long overlooked by the film industry.

Ian prefers shade to sunshine and crowded sidewalks to the outback. His favorite sport isn’t cricket or rugby but people-watching. So, it’s just as well that he’s been transplanted to New York City for almost four decades.
