Erin is a writer-director whose digital series “PLATONIC” is available on YouTube now. The New York Times called the series “a bite-size version of ‘Girls’ or ‘High Maintenance’” and AfterEllen said, "With mellow lighting and a lively soundtrack, Buckley created an aesthetic worthy of Sofia Coppola – and on an infinitely smaller budget.” Erin’s short film CC Dances the Go-Go premiered at Frameline and is playing at multiple festivals in 2020/2021: aGLIFF (Austin), Arizona International Film Festival, Topaz Film Festival (Dallas), Reeling (Chicago), Honolulu Rainbow, TIGLFF, Queer Screen (Sydney), Santa Fe Independent Film Festival, Calgary International Film Festival, Oslo Fusion, and Out on Film (Atlanta). Erin was a Fellow at MacDowell in September 2019, where she developed her play Ashram and her series “PLATONIC.” She recently played a supporting lead in the feature film Either Side of Midnight. Ashram was a finalist for the 2020 Ground Floor @ Berkeley Rep and a semi-finalist for the 2020 National Playwrights Conference @ The O’Neill. Her play Sistren was developed at The Lark’s 25th Annual Playwrights Week. Her original scripts include Older Lady, Ashram, Product, Sistren, Second Act Problems, PLATONIC (Seasons 1 and 2), CC Dances the Go-Go, Guidance, Unavailable, and Starf*cker. She was raised by an actress and trained as an actor; in Erin’s projects, roles for actresses are plentiful and female and LGBTQ stories are primary. M.F.A.: Yale School of Drama.
