NANCY A. DUFF

BIO

Nancy is an Austin Film Festival Josephson Entertainment Fellowship winner and was included on the festival’s “25 Screenwriters to Watch” list for her script COMPANY MAN. The sci-fi dark comedy landed on the annual Blood List as part of the "Fresh Blood Edition” honoring up-and-coming voices in horror, thriller, sci-fi, and dark comedy genres. 

Nancy is a recent participant in the Universal Pictures Feature Writing Program where she has written two feature screenplays under the guidance of producers at Chris Morgan Productions and Mandeville Films. She is a past recipient of the ScreenCraft Fellowship, participant of The Writers Lab funded by Meryl Streep and winner of the screenwriting award at the Napa Valley Film Festival, earning her a spot in their Artist-in-Residence Program. For over a decade, Nancy has worked in visual effects, which has influenced her writing as she often incorporates action and sci-fi genres covering themes of family and loss.

Growing up a latchkey kid, Nancy found inspiration from her television “babysitter.” In 2022 she was a finalist in the Fox TV Incubator Program. Nancy’s episodic work has been listed on the WriteHer List, The Bitch List, and is a two-time finalist in the WIF/The Black List Episodic Lab.

Hailing from Atlanta, GA, Nancy is a self-professed southern belle, world traveler and camper.  A graduate of Emory University, she is a mentor for the Young Storytellers Foundation, member of Film Independent and resides in Los Angeles.
