A Latina and Cali native, Ambra’s brand is kick ass women breaking barriers. Her great-grandfather rode with Pancho Villa during the Mexican Revolution; what else would you expect? An LA transplant since 2010, Ambra’s worked on several film projects in various production roles which help guide her writing in a way that allows her to understand all the moving parts of filmmaking. An architect of emotion, her storytelling digs down to your soul, leaving a lasting impact long after you've finished watching. Building worlds where women shine is what brings her the most joy in her writing.
Cassandra is proud to write for the stage, screen, video games, and radio-- often at the same time. Originally from Rockford, IL (go Peaches!), her sordid past includes growing up doing historical reenactment, giving tours in a science museum's coal mine, and working the front desk of a literacy nonprofit. As a playwright, she followed up a BA in Playwriting at Columbia College Chicago with a decade of Chicago playwriting self-productions and residencies, including Chicago Dramatists' Tutterow Fellowship. Most recently, her play BILLY TO HIS FRIENDS was a Semifinalist at Austin Film Festival, and had a well-received Off-Broadway workshop at the Fresh Fruit Festival in NYC. As a screenwriter, she won Austin Film Festival in 2022 with her scripted digital series, Walk Into A Bar. As a narrative designer, she shipped 3 titles for the romance video game "Chapters." And as an audio drama writer, she wrote multiple episodes for Wondery, Starlight Radio Dreams, and The Whiskey Radio Hour. No matter the format or genre, she writes about people making genuine connections in surprising ways.
Christene Seda was shaped by her Puerto Rican roots and childhood in Oahu. She studied History and Spanish at Fayetteville State University before discovering a passion for film while volunteering in Guest Services at the San Diego Film Festival. She went on to study Directing and Producing at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, interning on The Walking Dead and at the American Pavilion at the Cannes Film Festival. Her sophomore directed film, Helpless, was an official selection in 12 festivals and won 7 awards, earning her a spot on Variety’s “110 Students to Watch” in 2015. Christene has built a career across film and television, working in production at Bad Robot and as an assistant to a Co-EP on an FX overall deal. She has worked extensively as a Writer’s Assistant on Netflix’s GLOW, CBS’s Poppa’s House, and most recently on Stillwater with Berlanti Productions. She is represented by Limitless Management and develops projects centered on vibrant, intersecting ensemble stories about women. Her proudest credit is being published in The New York Times Modern Love column with an essay about her experience with a tarot card reader. When she’s not writing, she can be found supporting drag performers across Los Angeles.
Crystal (passionate and travel-sized) prefers the work of Shania over Mark Twain. She is a lesbian, Latina TV writer living in Los Angeles. Originating in The OC, she survived weekly detention as an emo nerd in Catholic school and found a fun escape in writing and drawing comics, which led her to earn a BFA in animation from Laguna College of Art and Design. Since 2017, she has worked as a storyboard revisionist and artist at 20th TV Animation on American Dad and Family Guy. She is a 2025 Hillman Grad Writing Track Mentee, 2024 NHMC Series Scriptwriters Program fellow, a 2024 and 2025 Disney Entertainment Television (DET) Writing Program semi-finalist, and a three-time second rounder at Austin Film Fest. Her work features comedic stories with heart about queer Latinas finding themselves, dealing with female rage, and seeking freedom from patriarchal expectations. She loves the solution-seeking involved in writing and all the possibilities and limitations that come with it. In her free time, you can catch her hiking, playing beach volleyball, or taking a beginner’s class to learn something new.
Co-President of the League of Women Writers. Dana Braziel-Solovy writes comedy and horror because she loves to laugh until she screams. Or maybe it's because, in true bisexual fashion, she hates having to choose. To support her compulsive TV and feature writing habits, Dana works as a true crime podcast writer (currently: PAVE Studios' The Final Hours) and as a television Art Director with credits on shows such as CSI: VEGAS and WANDAVISION. In 2025, Dana was selected by both the Hollywood Radio & Television Society as a Career Fellow and by Disability Belongs as an Entertainment Lab Fellow. She was a Mentee in the 2022 Women In Film Mentorship Program. Dana believes strongly in interpersonal understanding, which is why she spent time living in Berlin studying German and continues to learn the silent language of circus arts.
Dani Hanks (they/she) is a disabled writer/director based in NYC. Their workplace comedy pilot, THE G.Y.M., won the 2024 Austin Film Festival and was performed live for Table Read Podcast on the official podcast stage of SXSW 2026. Dani grew up elbow-deep in human organs at their mom’s pathology lab in Porterville, California. A direct result of inhaling too much formaldehyde in their formative years, they dove headfirst into the entertainment industry and received a BFA in Drama at NYU Tisch. Drawing from their experience as the only purple-haired snowflake in a deeply conservative family, they promote empathy for underrepresented identities through offbeat stories centered around diverse found families. Dani approaches the taboo with both levity and nuance and loves finding humor in the mundane. Dani has worked on projects in development at FilmRise and RKO, and is a fellow of Stowe, Disability Belongs, and the WGAE SSTP. They are a full-time meme connoisseur, part-time 1st AD, former member of Mensa, and have 10 years of experience cutting animal tissue for medical research (much to the dismay of their pet rats).
Danielle Evenson & Heather Huntington are two halves of an Adderall that you forget to take. As the child of a narcissist and mother of two neurodiverse kids (Heather) and a would-be beauty queen who grew up driving the bull semen route (Danielle), obviously, they write comedy. Specifically, they write edgy, sometimes nerdy feminist comedy with a pop-culture bent. After studying at USC and Emerson, Danielle & Heather have staffed on CBS’s The New Adventures of Old Christine; designed interactive fiction for Netflix series, created podcasts for Sony-owned Meet Cute. When not writing, they teach at New York Film Academy and run a new work reading series at LA’s historic Elysian Theater, supported by the Orchard Project.
I am a New York raised, L.A. based screenwriter, who discovered my love for writing dialogue as a child who created and performed puppet shows for my first-grade classmates. I studied English Literature and Broadcast Communications at S.U.N.Y. Oswego and while my peers were setting their sights on sales and programming, I was reveling in courses in children’s literature, theater, scene design, and Shakespeare, where my passion for storytelling only grew. I write screenplays that will tickle your heart and touch your funny bone – mostly within legal limits. My stories tend to involve characters who find themselves in situations where their mask needs to - or is forced to - come off, but I manage it all with compassion, humor, and the occasional touch of raunch. I’m pretty much Nora Ephron’s and Judd Apatow’s love child who spent way too much time hanging out with Carrie Fisher.

Elizabeth Stamp was born and raised in West Virginia, where she attended a school with a graduating class of 54. Her father is a federal judge, and as a result, she did not get invited to any parties in high school. (That’s why, right?) Growing up with a stay-at-home mom, she became an ethnographer of the American wife and mother, inspiring her comedic scripts about imperfect female characters searching for identity. She graduated from Brown University, where she studied English and visual arts, attempting everything from glassblowing to welding a five-foot-tall wrought iron gate (a searing critique of consumerism). She began her career at Architectural Digest but started doing comedy when she got tired of writing about couches and “pops of color.” Elizabeth studied television writing at Columbia University and sketch and improv at UCB. She has performed in basements across New York City and is a Senior Contributing Video Writer at The Onion. She was a member of the Fox Writer’s Lab and was part of Ron Howard and Brian Grazer’s content accelerator, Imagine Impact. During Impact, she was mentored by Saladin Patterson. Her pilot SILOED was set up at Stampede with showrunners Barry Safchik and Michael Platt and director Beth McCarthy Miller. She has developed additional projects with McCarthy Miller and Casey Patterson Entertainment, and Safchik & Platt. Her horror feature THE CHAIN was one of the most requested scripts on the 2025 Deadlist. She also co-created two rom-com podcasts for MeetCute and was a staff writer for a mobile game for Fusebox. Her first book, “150 Bookstores You Need to Visit Before You Die,” was published in 2023. She lives in Los Angeles with her 10-year-old Shih Tzu, Chowder.
Ellen Ancui is a WGA, AWD, award-winning, neurodiverse, bi, writer/director who specializes in traumadies—darkly funny stories where (mostly) women dig their own graves, then complain about the landscaping. A Long Island kid raised by a Sicilian mom who converted for her Jewish dad (but still snuck ham sandwiches into the garage) Ellen was destined to tell complicated stories and overfeed people. A former private chef to fancy people like Horton Foote, Ellen founded SOLO ARTS GROUP, NYC and gave the original Upright Citizens Brigade their first home (you’re welcome, comedy). After 2 successful one-woman shows, ZEL REBELS! THE STORY OF A WOMAN IN A (1) MAN SHOW (Public Fringe) and JUMPING OFF THE FRIDGE (HBO Workspace) she moved to LA, wrote for Sony’s MALCOLM & EDDIE, and her play GLORY PIE sold out at the Coronet with love letters from Variety. Other credits: BROWN & FRIENDS (Netflix), SIZZLER (Next Stage Press), and several one-acts at The Braid Theater. Her directorial debut, SAVERIO, now an Oscar-qualified short for 2026, is selected for the American Pavilion Emerging Artists at Cannes 2026, has already played at 36 film festivals, nominated for 18 awards, and won 10, including 5 audience awards, the Grand Prize at the Jeonju Int'l Short Film Festival, Korea, and a NYWIFT Excellence in Directing Award. Ellen is developing the feature of SAVERIO, and has been hired to direct the indie feature, RYAN & JEANETTE later this year. She is the producer and co-host of the 2026 Women Podcasts winner for Best Comedy, FILTHY MILFS, and creator of AGING FEARLESSLY on Substack.
Goldie Jones is a nonbinary (she/they) Wyoming born writer/director, viral content creator, aerialist, and artist, with an award winning career in commercial production (and a side quest to run a circus school) under their belt.

They're a Universal Writers Program Finalist, Stowe Launch Fellow, WIF Mentee in the Director's Circle and co-founder of the sci-fi/horror anthology podcast series FEMME FUTURE PERFECT.

Jade Rona is a Los Angeles–based screenwriter and video game writer originally from Manhattan, whose voice has been shaped by a decade of movement between the East and West Coasts. The daughter of a Haitian/Puerto Rican mother and a Jewish father, she draws on a multicultural perspective that informs her character-driven, genre-forward storytelling. Her work often explores themes of identity, belonging, and moral ambiguity through heightened worlds grounded in emotional truth. A lover of noir, horror, and speculative fiction, Jade crafts richly textured narratives populated by offbeat yet deeply human characters, brought to life through sharp dialogue and a distinct sardonic wit. She previously wrote for Animore Games Corp.’s fantasy title and created a neo-noir pilot selected for Stowe Story Labs’ TV Writers Room Program, while also placing in the Top 50 of Launchpad’s Pilot Competition and advancing in ISA’s Fast Track Fellowship.

Currently, she is developing a feature treatment with Fairvale Entertainment and is represented by Jennie Frisbie at Magnet Management.
By the time she was thirty, Jan Kimbrough had been shot at twice and seen so many dead bodies, she’d lost count. No, she’s not a serial killer or a paid assassin – though, for writers, it’s always good to have a backup. She started her career as an idealistic television journalist, hoping to better the world one story at a time. While working at local news stations around the country, she soon came to realize that it is not enough to inform people; you have to move them. Nothing does that better than the entertainment industry, so she left journalism for Hollywood. She writes in a variety of genres, but the underlying theme always seems to be about righting a wrong. A long-time member of Writers Guild of America West, Jan Kimbrough has written both scripted and non-fiction shows on a wide variety of subjects for all four American television networks and numerous cable channels. Among them, Murder Book for Discovery ID, Unsolved Mysteries for NBC and Lost and Found for OWN – close to two dozen credits and counting. In 2015, she was selected for the New York Women in Film and Television Writing Lab funded by Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman. In 2016, she was a runner-up to the winner in the prestigious Scriptapalooza screenwriting contest. In March of 2019, she was chosen for Dreamago’s esteemed Plume et Pellicule screenwriting workshop in Sierre, Switzerland. Most recently, her script, White Buffalo, was chosen for the 2025 Grey List. Jan is currently writing new screenplays and trying to convince a small, black, very opinionated pound puppy not to bark. The screenplays are going well, the barking not so much.
Jennifer Patterson is a Los Angeles-based writer and television industry professional whose work blends grounded character drama with horror, science fiction, and dystopian storytelling. She has worked at CBS Studios, Blumhouse Television, Echo Lake Entertainment, Valhalla Entertainment, and CAA, developing a deep understanding of how ambitious stories move from the page to the screen. Her writing explores identity, power, survival, and the people forced to navigate broken systems, often centering women and characters whose bodies, backgrounds, or experiences are rarely treated as heroic. Her work has received recognition from ScreenCraft, Shore Scripts, HorrOrigins, Outstanding Screenplays, Creative World Awards, and other competitions. She holds bachelor’s degrees in Film & Television and English from Penn State.
Jeny was born and raised in New York City and knew from a young age that she wanted to be a “writter” (they didn’t have spell check back then.) She attended Wellesley College, where she double-majored in English and French, then went on to grad school at Columbia University, where she got an overpriced and unnecessary MFA in film. She then moved to LA, seeking fame and fortune, and landed her first TV writing job on “The Tony Danza Show” for NBC. After working on a bunch of failed network sitcoms, Jenny transitioned into children’s television, writing and producing several Disney shows: “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,” “The Suite Life on Deck,” “A.N.T. Farm,” “Austin & Ally” (for which she won a coveted Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice award - it’s a blimp! And a kaleidoscope!) - and Nickelodeon shows: “Ricky, Nicky, Dicky and Dawn,” “The Thundermans,” “Cousins for Life,” and "Warped." She has also written and supervised pilots for both Disney and Nick. Writing for kids is fun, but she’s hoping to one day be back on a show where the majority of the jokes are not fart-based. Jeny lives in LA with her fiancé and 3 cats. When not writing, she enjoys traveling, Irish dance and learning obscure languages on Duolingo.
Jessica Silvetti is a director and writer whose distinctive voice is shaped by her multicultural upbringing. Born in Mexico City, of Spanish descent, and raised in the United States, her love of storytelling expands across genres and languages, and she’s dedicated to crafting character-driven stories that explore identity, resilience, and complex women’s experiences. Silvetti has written on two seasons of the hit TV series EL JUEGO DE LAS LLAVES (Amazon Prime Latin America), streaming in 92 countries, and wrote a suspense drama series in development at Campanario Entertainment (Selena: The Series). Her latest short film, INSIDE, enjoyed a successful festival run and was acquired for distribution by 7 Palms Entertainment. Her bilingual web series LOST MEMORIES earned her a Breaking Boundaries Visionary Women’s Award for spotlighting Alzheimer’s disease in the Latino community.

Jessica holds a BFA in Drama from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.
Jodie grew up in a conservative suburb of Los Angeles, where she masked her differences as a Jewish bisexual tomboy, fearing rejection. Writing and travel became safe playgrounds to explore her differences, away from society’s expectations and the heavy yoke of perfectionism. After earning her MFA in film from City College of New York, she spent several years writing, directing, producing, and acting in indie films before moving into post-production. But after 14 years at Warner Bros., Vubiquity, and Gork, where she worked as a sound editor, editor, encoder, and graphic artist on titles such as the Ice Age and Chicken Little Blu-Ray and games, she longed to return to writing. She completed the UCLA Professional Program in Writing for TV and began writing genre TV scripts. Having ripped off her own mask, she now writes stories of outsiders navigating societal expectations and power imbalances, such as the reluctant teen misfit superheroes fighting a domestic terrorist organization in her TV pilot, Invisible. Her work has received recognition on the Coverfly Red List, earned a spot on Book Authority’s “Best LGBT books of all Time” list, won the Best Spec Script award at the ISA, and placed as a finalist in competitions such as ScreenCraft. Passionate about empowering youth, Jodie volunteers as a mentor in teen leadership and confidence, co-authored Queer Cheer: Activities, Advice, and Affirmations for LGBTQ+ Teens, and hosts workshops and podcasts to help young girls and LGBTQ+ youth embrace their authentic selves. When not writing, she travels the world, dances at concerts, and cosplays at geeky conventions.
I’m an LA-based writer and filmmaker originally from Chile, who blends a scholar’s mind with a rebel’s heart, crafting high-concept dramas and dramedies about unconventional characters who fight to find their power and a place to belong. A kind of empowerment I was once told I couldn’t have. I was born during the final years of the Chilean dictatorship and raised in Peru during its most violent wave of terrorism, I spent my youth in barred houses and all-girls Catholic schools where bikinis were a sin. To escape, I read books, watched TV, and wrote fantasy stories. At age nine, I wrote my first book, and when my socially distant father read it and cried, I understood the power stories have to connect, challenge, and heal. Since then, I’ve lived multiple lives to serve my “creative writing monster”. I chose to study Film Directing when it was an unconventional choice for a girl from a conservative Latinx family. I did an Exchange Program at UCSB and hitchhiked from Boston to California in the back of trucks during Christmas break on a dare. I became a Flight Attendant to gather the world’s stories at 45,000 feet. I’ve worked as a writer and crew member on set for scripted and unscripted series and films, as well as in development as Coordinator and Junior Executive. I’ve lived in six different cities across three countries. I went on safari in Tanzania, canyoning in Hawaii, and canoed in the Amazon. I pursued an MFA in Writing for Screen and Stage for a stamp of approval. I birthed a baby without anesthesia to experience women’s animalistic strength. And I moved to LA with a toddler, a dog, and a husband in an RV to pursue a career in TV writing, while writing features and comics. And now, here I am!

Kasi Brown is an LA-based screenwriter specializing in high-concept comedies rooted in the spirit of ’90s blockbusters.

Maydé Alpi
Her name is Maydé. In English, it kind of sounds like “My Day” which implies that she seizes every day as if it were her own. In reality, Maydé is a first-generation Cuban-American woman, born and raised in Miami, FL, who catastrophizes even the best of circumstances. On occasion, she moonlights as an optimist.
