Hey everyone! I'm Callie Currence, a Korean-American screenwriter based in Minnesota. I come from a background in manufacturing (which I loathe, but hey—it funds the dream), and I've been steadily carving my path into the world of storytelling.
My debut short script Over and Out, about a neurodivergent boy guiding a lost hiker via a radio tower, has picked up a few awards and even hit #1 on the Coverfly Short Screenplay List. I'm currently developing more weird, heartfelt, often horror-tinted scripts, including a thriller-romance feature called Rare.
I’m here to connect with fellow filmmakers, learn from others, and share resources when I can. If you’re into strange love stories, grounded genre, or just trying to break in while juggling a day job, we’ll probably get along.
Excited to be here, let’s make cool stuff together!
