Comedy writer Morgan Lehmann (AB '12) recently sold her debut feature in a multi-way bidding war—but her journey to the big screen started far from Hollywood, on a pig farm in Houston. In this candid conversation, Morgan will talk about how years of writing for network sitcoms like 2 BROKE GIRLS, THE COOL KIDS, and BLESS THIS MESS prepared her to create her own original stories—culminating in her transition from TV to film. We’ll explore topics surrounding developing and pitching a comedy feature, how she navigated the competitive studio system, and what she’s learned from both writers’ rooms and solo screenwriting. If you're curious about breaking into comedy features or selling your own original work, join us on June 11th!
