More about screenwriters Caitlin Gallo & Brittany Harris: https://www.networkisa.org/profile/gallo-harris

Caitlin Gallo (the smiley brunette in the thumbnail image on the right) and Brittany Harris (the smiley brunette on the left) met at a theater conservatory - hidden behind Lincoln Center in New York City - many years ago. They couldn’t have been more different - Caitlin, NY born and LA bred child of a music executive and Brittany, good ol’ southern girl - descendant of Mary Todd Lincoln. (Seriously.)

But they connected instantly - soulmates born worlds apart, brought together by a need for applause and very strong coffee. After college, Caitlin hustled Off-Broadway with a brief stint in advertising, while Brittany toiled away at law school but they found their way to LA and back to each other soon thereafter. They've been inseparable since.

Gallo and Harris were featured in Variety in 2021 for their placement on the inaugural Wscripted Cannes Screenplay List - featuring 25 vetted, emerging female writers. Since 2019 the duo have also been featured writers on the Impact Creative Network - created by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer at Imagine Entertainment in tandem with Tyler Mitchell. In 2022 they were invited to join the ISA Development Slate and we're named part of the 25 Screenwriters to Watch in 2023.

From the far depths of space to WW2 battlegrounds, together Gallo and Harris write female coming of age stories.
