About Maureen

Maureen Mahon is a screenwriter and producer living in Los Angeles.

Her film producer father gave her a Super-8 movie camera and mini editing bay when she was nine years old and she began making movies in her backyard. She studied art and drama at Orange Coast College, and then moved to Los Angeles where she worked in various film and music-related jobs, including set dresser, production assistant, studio manager, and as an assistant in the music department at Fries Entertainment. She went on to work in Business Affairs at the Samuel Goldwyn Company and New Line Cinema, while writing several screenplays. From there, she took a job at the exclusive boutique law firm, Gang, Tyre, Ramer & Brown in Beverly Hills. Maureen continued her love of music, singing with a jazz/cabaret ensemble called The Vicious Circle.

After a long break from the entertainment biz, to pursue interior design, the COVID lockdown gave Maureen the opportunity to sit down and write her passion project - a streaming TV series about the life of Edith Piaf. Her pilot script has placed in top writing competitions, including a Double Recommend and top 1% of all scripts in the Best of Stage 32 Lookbook.

Maureen has a slate of dramatic projects that feature grounded, complex characters who must fight to survive in high-stake worlds.
