Hey there, I’m Joanne!

I’m an award-winning Australian-American screenwriter and producer,  and founder of Sweetest Pit Bull Productions. I have a knack for writing underdog characters across multiple genres.

Working out of Los Angeles, London, and Melbourne, I’m a member of the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain, Australian Writers’ Guild, and the British Film Institute. I’m also a writer at The Royal Court Theatre’s Writers’ Card playwriting community in London. 

My work has been recognized internationally, including a Best Feature Screenplay Finalist Award in the UK from The Golden Script Competition for ‘Sex, Drugs & Crow’s Feet’ which was also a nominee at the New Media Film Festival in Los Angeles. Additionally, my feature film script ‘You Had Me At Aloha’ won an Aloha Accolade Award at the Honolulu Film Awards. I also received Official Finalist Awards for my TV pilot script ‘Life of Groupies’ at both the Hollywood Screenplay Contest and the Beverly Hills Screenplay Contest.
