Writer Biography - Kelsey Nerrie

Kelsey Nerrie has a storied career across the film industry in addition to excursions into the private sector, publishing, and motherhood.
She is a reader and writer at her core. Growing up, she lived in her local library, inhaling the likes of The Magic Treehouse and Harry Potter series and then on to an exploration of humanity via Kundera, Dostoyevsky, Knowles, and more recently, Rooney. Her dark humor was shaped by British comedies (The Holy Grail, Fawlty Towers) and her love of spectacle and comedic/paranormal was influenced by film & tv of the 90s and 2000s, from Independence Day, Demolition Man, and The 6th Day to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, and Supernatural.
Kelsey’s writing style stems from the prose and narrative structures of literature and the dry wit of the Flying Circus. Hard-hitting emotions and facing up to our true selves is the overarching theme in her writing. She does not tie herself down to a single genre but instead explores those truths in whichever genre will resonate with her characters and the journeys they lead her on.

Writer Statement

When I first saw the image in my head of a man keeping vigil by a window, I wrote a handful of pages, typed “The End” and was done with it. But the pages I wrote kept gnawing at me. This story wouldn’t keep quiet in the drawer with all the other half-finished words I’ve written. Over six years, I tinkered with this script - first in my head, then through discussion with other creatives, and finally on the page.
The theme of consequences and their multiverses of potential “other” outcomes would not let me rest. When I finally sat down to revise this script I realized what I was trying to say all along: that you never know exactly how a single decision is going to impact the rest of your life -- or the lives of the people you love. I think it comes across on the page, but now I have the opportunity to put my written vision to the test and allow a theatrical audience to decide for themselves.
Is going to the extreme ever acceptable? Can we ever really know where our choices will lead us? And can we live with those consequences, whatever they may be?
Let’s explore the outcomes together.
