A LITTLE ABOUT US:
We are Claire Rothrock and Ryann Weir, two writers totally defying expectations by living in the heart of Brooklyn to pursue our creative passions.
Currently we’re developing a tv adaptation of the neo-noir, erotic thriller/cult 90's film THE LAST SEDUCTION alongside Poison Pen Productions and ITV Studios.
Our pilot, THE DARLINGS, was developed at FX with Chernin Entertainment producing and our pilot CLOISTER F*CKED aka OUR LADIES OF BROOKLYN was developed and made at The CW, with CBSTVS and Sutton St. producing, Jennie Snyder Urman showrunning, and Tessa Blake directing.
We’ve collaborated with Leslye Headland, Katie Couric, Connie Britton, Sarah Jessica Parker's Pretty Matches Productions, Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage's Fake Empire, Madica Productions, FX, Paramount+, and The CW. We were 2018 Sundance New Voices Fellows and in 2019 they were Sundance Episodic Fellows.
Outside of tv, we co-created the web series BASIC WITCH (Amazon Prime/JASH), as well as the musical, THE UNDERTOW, commissioned by their alma-mater (NYU). Our original play, I HEARD SEX NOISES was produced by Ars Nova Theater (co-written with Andrew Farmer, developed with director, Annie Tippe).
Claire received her MFA in acting from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. Ryann is a proud alumni of the Obie-winning group EST/Youngblood. We have both served as adjunct faculty members at NYU’s Playwrights Horizons Theater School.
