A New Jersey native raised in the Bible Belt; writer/filmmaker FRANKIE CAMPISANO now calls Los Angeles their home.
A non-binary punk-rock poet with a style an exec once described as “Aaron Sorkin on acid”, Frankie specializes in writing dark comedies about deeply flawed losers struggling to reinvent themselves in stories packed with punchlines taking bold swings towards silly and surreal.
Frankie has worked in the entertainment industry for over ten years, including time at NBCUniversal, Sony Pictures Classics and Fox Broadcasting Company. They are also a freelance script development analyst, covering comedy pilots and features for production companies, contests, and film festivals including Austin Film Festival, and Boston Film Festival.
Frankie is a graduate of Elon University (…no relation) in Elon, North Carolina (…again, no relation) where they studied screenwriting and poetry. As one of the winners of Elon’s inaugural Alumni Production Fund, Frankie partnered with students and alumni to produce the award-winning experimental comedy/horror short SECRET MENU BEAUTY PAGEANT.
Frankie is also a renowned chicken finger connoisseur, a responsibility they do not take lightly.
