Dana is an Australian-born, LA-based writer who crafts wickedly offbeat dark comedies with emotional depth and fantastically flawed, potty-mouthed protagonists. Her hour-long pilot, THE BAD, BAD GUY, was a semi-finalist at the 2024 Austin Film Festival (top 2% of 10,500+ entries), while her half-hour pilot, TRIPPIN', earned Black List scores of 8 and 9, landing her on their "Top Lists". Named one of Coverfly's twelve Writers to Watch, Dana has advanced as a Second Rounder for the Sundance Episodic Lab, was shortlisted for the Black List x Women In Film Episodic Lab, and placed in Screencraft Comedy, Stage 32 Comedy, and Coverfly Pitch competitions. Her web series, THE CHRONICLES OF A MANCHILD, received a Best New Comedy nomination at the Hollyweb Festival.
