Nee
Nee is a Black, queer, nerd from South East London. Growing up on a diet of ‘90s –2000s cartoons, anime, and live-action sitcoms, there’s nothing Nee loves more than comedy and passionately singing Britney Spears at karaoke. Some would argue that storytelling and screenwriting were always in Nee’s destiny (as her sister constantly reminds her that her narratives for their fashion doll games were way too advanced for six and seven-year-olds). So at 13, Nee dropped her dreams of wanting to be a singer-actress-designer triple threat and decided to stick with something she’s actually good at; playing God with fictional stories. Although she’s been writing since she was nine years old, she wrote her first ever script in high school and quickly learned that screenwriting is her favorite medium to create worlds - followed by The Sims, of course.
Graduating in 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in Film Studies, she is a proud alumna of both Queen Mary, University of London, and University of California, Santa Barbara (where one of her most wondrous creations, a five-second animated short, was birthed). Although she’s an early-career screenwriter, she’s been working in film, TV, and music video production since the tender age of 14, as a Production Assistant in music videos. After realizing that being a PA isn’t for her, she definitively quit the gig 12 years later, in 2021. Now, when she’s not writing her butt off, she works in TV development.
With a penchant for fusing sci-fi or drama with comedy, Nee often uses her two superpowers — adventurous ideas and dialogue — to write wild stories for both live-action and animation. She’s passionate about getting more Asian, Black, Latinx, Native, disabled, and queer/trans representation, stories, and animated shows out there.
In a dream world, she would have loved to work on: Abbott Elementary, American Dad!, Atlanta, Barry, The Bear, Bob’s Burgers, The Boondocks, The Boys, Close Enough, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Futurama, Grand Crew, Harley Quinn, Human Resources, Insecure, Invincible, My Wife & Kids, Rap Sh!t, Regular Show, Sherman’s Showcase, South Side, Westworld, What We Do in the Shadows, and X-Men ‘97.
