Brandy N. Carie

Hi, there!

I’m an award-winning playwright, screenwriter, director, and librettist originally from Minnesota and currently based in LA. I write drama and horror (with jokes) about witches, apocalypse, and what happens when Nice girls get mad.

As a writer I’m into violent women, disgusting(ly awesome) bodies, and stories set in hot dish country.

As a director, I’m into minimizing hierarchy, asking questions, and DIY solutions (unless you have $$$, then I’m into acrobats and fire).

I recently directed and produced my first horror short, THE COUPLE, and it’s currently in post-production. My puppet adaptation of Austen’s oeuvre, ABRUPTLY, AUSTEN was co-produced with genius D.T. Burns and came out on the internet in fall 2023 (If your theater wants to commission the stage play version, call me!). My witches and wellness gender epic, HOW TO LIVE FOREVER, was developed with the James Madison University New Works Lab in August 2023. I’m currently developing a horror feature about murder coyotes, a horror feature about murder spiders, and (you guessed it!) a horror feature about murderous anti-abortion lunatics.

Get updates on everything I’m up to here.
