Your host Mahtub Zare Mochanloo is currently a Staff Writer on Season 2 of Netflix’s hit comedy NOBODY WANTS THIS. A first-generation Iranian-American, Mahtub's journey into entertainment includes participating in the prestigious Disney ABC TV Writing Program, working at WME, and producing at BallenStudios. She has been instrumental in launching industry initiatives like The Diversity Fund Gap Initiative at The Creative Coalition. When she’s not writing, you can find her surfing in Topanga, queer line dancing, or hosting the stand-up show Gay Interrupted alongside her girlfriend. With her extensive industry experience and passion for storytelling, Mahtub is the perfect mentor to guide you through writing your romantic comedy screenplay!
In this interactive and immersive lab, you’ll develop your romantic comedy from a rough idea to a fully realized first draft. Each week, you’ll receive personalized feedback, structured lessons, and one-on-one consultations to help refine your story. You’ll learn how to craft memorable meet-cutes, develop engaging chemistry, and structure compelling conflicts that keep audiences invested. You’ll also gain insights into avoiding clichés while delivering satisfying romantic arcs, balancing humor and heart, and making your script commercially viable. By the end of the lab, you will have a completed first draft of your romantic comedy and a roadmap for revisions to make it production-ready!
