Based in Hollywood, California, but born and raised in small-town Connecticut, a neurotic child of weirdly-chill south Indian immigrant parents, Arun Narayanan (“uh-roon nuh-rye-nen”) navigates his personal experiences by creating funny and strange alternate realities populated by characters who struggle to connect with each other and with the world around them. Using a balance of witty dialogue and heartfelt emotion, he aims to turn his stories into fun, wild rides for a wide audience.
A 2023 alum of the Universal Writers Lab, Arun is also the creator and star of the Webby and YouTube Streamy Award nominated comedy web series Arun Considers, and the writer of the 2018 made-for-TV movie Time Capsule starring Reginald Veljohnson (Family Matters, Die Hard) and Chris Kattan (Saturday Night Live, A Night at the Roxbury).
