Ethan Banville

Ethan Banville is an accomplished writer, producer, creator, show-runner and author known for his work in the tween and kids' space. A lifelong skateboarder, he began his writing career in Action Sports programming, on a dream job where he got to work with some of his childhood skateboarding heroes. From there he began receiving freelance opportunities on comedies in prime time and eventually landed in the kids and teen space where he's worked since 2005. Since then, Ethan has gone on to write for a long list of programs in both the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands including animation, live action, and feature film. The first show he co-created, the "smash hit" ODDBALLS, is available for streaming on Netflix. He is a proud member of both the WGA's Disabled Writers committee and LGBTQ+ committee and embraces being able to openly write characters based off his disabilities and sexual preference experiences. Ethan has a passion for helping underrepresented voices find a foothold in Hollywood and can often be found teaming up with unrepresented writers whose stories need to be heard by networks and studios. He is a dual citizen of the United States and Canada and loves working on both sides of the border.
