Horatio Harrington is a Puerto Rican-Greek screenwriter, poet, and doctoral candidate at Princeton University.

I am an English Ph.D. candidate at Princeton University, pursuing graduate certificates in Gender and Sexuality Studies and African American Studies. My book-length research project Queer Outskirts studies queer relations in highly masculine, culturally celebrated sites, from Wild West frontiers to mafioso streets. I currently serve as a 2022-2023 Bain-Swiggett Assistant in Research.

My screenwriting blends scholarly research with embodied spectacle, drawing upon my academic background, years as a California-licensed massage therapist, and professional wrestling training. My work includes Bandera Fringe, an intersectional historical Western pilot that advanced to the second round of the Austin Film Fest’s 2022 Drama Pilot competition. My half-hour comedy The Rub advanced to the second round of the Sundance 2022 Episodic Lab. Both shows were co-created with writing partner KB Thors.

I am also a Pushcart-nominated poet and co-writer of Dandara: Trial of Fears, one of Time’s “10 best video games of 2018.” I live in Los Angeles.
