Sherry Coman

I am a writer, educator and story editor with more than 30 years of experience in theatre and film. I write plays, screenplays and fiction, and I consult on story editing and film production for clients ranging from young, new filmmakers to emerging playwrights and established international film producers.

In the last decade, I have pursued theology and biblical studies with a special interest in the Dead Sea Scrolls. I am a graduate of Waterloo Lutheran Seminary and Regis College, Toronto School of Theology. Currently a sessional lecturer in film, visual and new media culture at Humber College, and in film and theology at the University of Toronto and Martin Luther University College. I also create spiritual devotionals for the online ministry Lutherans Connect.

My research interests include film and theology; digital media and visual culture and theology; and film production theory. My research interests as a biblical scholar were in the area of the non-biblical texts of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
