Particularly Interested In

I'm always interested in Playwrights. At the moment I work mostly toward producing 1/2 hour Multicam and single cam shows, but I'm always on the lookout for a good one-hour drama, or film script.

I mostly say yes before I say no. There's no reason to shut the door on something before you know what it is. Magic is created in the least likely settings.

More about Katayoun (Kat) Marciano

Katayoun Amini Marciano grew up in Tehran, Iran, migrating to the United States as a teenager. She studied at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco, eventually ending up in Los Angeles under the tutelage of Hubert Selby Jr. (LAST EXIT TO BROOKLYN) and Jim Krusoe (ICELAND). Early on, she wrote her first screenplay, NEEDLES,
developed at IFP. Then went on to staff on the CBS morning cartoon MYTHIC WARRIORS, the Fox Family show THE ZACK FILES, and the HBO show MIND OF THE MARRIED MAN with Mike Binder. Her development slate includes TV pilots/series such as SCALP HUNTERS for Maysville Television and Y-SOCIETY for Imprint Entertainment. She has produced the independent feature 3...2...1...FRANKIE GO BOOM, and has written and adapted several films, most notably MAX PAYNE. In the last three years, Kat moved more into her producing/development role, running a comedy pod at NBC/Universal TV. But her primary home is in Jersey City, NJ, where her neurodivergent son, the youngest of her three kids, lives.
