Gina DeAngelis is the youngest of 10 kids who all talked at once. She started writing just to get a word in. A professional writer for 20+ years, she won an Emmy Award for historical drama, and holds degrees in both history and screenwriting. In her spec features, her unlikely heroes suffer from estrangement and isolation before building diverse found families, and even her darkest stories are ultimately life-affirming. Her scripts have been consistently honored by the Nicholl Fellowships, Austin Film Festival, PAGE Screenwriting Awards, Stowe Story Labs, and others.

Recent releases include the indie feature Everything Fun You Could Possibly Do in Aledo, Illinois (premiered in Los Angeles in October 2023), 13 commissioned documentary shorts (Stories of War), and the horror short Ask For Help, now in festivals. Her work has also appeared on PBS and was performed live for Queen Elizabeth II.

Her adaptation of the Pamela Painter short story Doors will be released in early 2024.
