Theo Wanderydz is a Stockholm-based writer and a graduate of the prestigious National Film & Television in London. His graduate film, SHOAL, has competed at dozens of film festivals worldwide and was shortlisted for the BAFTA Student Awards in 2020.

After moving back to Sweden, Theo worked as a trainee at Film i Väst and as a Script Editor at Nexiko Drama. He has recently contributed his talent to the writer’s room for the upcoming crime/drama series “MAFFIA” on Viaplay, as well as the upcoming drama/comedy series titled “Happy Jävla Pride” set to air on TV4.

Theo is drawn to cinematic, suspenseful stories across several genres (mainly horror) but always with big hearts and more profound questions at the core. He’s determined to tell emotional and enduring stories that audiences want to discuss, dissect and revisit several times after they’ve experienced them.
