Finalist, Josephson Entertainment + Roadmap Writers Short Story Competition
BIO
A former journalist and recovering Silicon Valley startup executive, Pamela Weiss is a creative writer who crafts funny, heartfelt, transcendent stories.
Pamela's feature and pilot work has garnered finalist, semifinalist, and quarterfinalist recognition from Screencraft, LA International Screenplay, Page International Screenwriting, Inroads Fellowship, Miami Screenplay, Stage32 and Austin Film Festival Pitch Finale.
Her female ensemble comedy feature, The Healdsburg Home for the Terminally Sexy, is in development with Di Novi Pictures. Recently, Pamela fulfilled a lifelong dream; telling the life story of Lucy Morgan, the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Journalism. The series depicts the early-80s point where Morgan’s career-changing investigation and Pamela's childhood intersected in a tiny, secretive Florida swamp town.
Currently, Pamela is co-writing an Italy-based horror film and adapting the thrilling memoir of a female environmentalist whose dangerous work preserving the Alaskan wilderness paled in comparison to the heart and safety risks posed by humans.
Pamela recently served as creative and executive producer of narrative short film, Color of Autumn (www.colorofautumn.com). Fresh off the film festival circuit, the award-winning anti-hate speech project is being developed as an educational tool to spur empathy-based conversations in US classrooms.
