Welcome to Animulus Forge

I’m Andrew Carroll, MD — a practicing physician and screenwriter. I write stories that pulse with lived experience, tension, and dark humor. Whether it’s a neurotech thriller, a post-apocalyptic medical drama, or a sitcom set in a dying amusement park, my work blends the clinical with the chaotic — and always aims for the human truth underneath.

Here you’ll find original scripts, fiction, behind-the-scenes process notes, and updates on the strange collision between medicine, technology, and storytelling.

🩺 Still practicing.

🧠 Still diagnosing.

🎬 Still writing like the world depends on it.
