Dan Trotta is a Canadian screenwriter.[1] He is an alumnus of the National Screen Institute and the prestigious Canadian Film Centre, completing the Bell Media Prime Time TV Program in 2011.[2]
Trotta taught Business Communication at London, Ontario's Fanshawe College, after he earned a BA in Creative Writing from Concordia University, while working on his own writing in his spare time.[1]
During a 2017 interview with TV Eh? Trotta described offering to volunteer at Muse Entertainment, to gain some experience with the process of writing for television of film, only to have his offer declined.[2][3] He was told they could not employ him as a volunteer, but they could pay him to help with a backlog of scripts that needed to be read, and a synopsis written. Trotta said it was colleagues at Muse who encouraged him to apply for a position at the Canadian Film Centre. The CFC only accepts a half-dozen or so script-writing students per year, and he was lucky enough to be accepted the year Denis McGrath was the instructor.
