This week I am losing-my-mind excited to chat with Leslye Headland.
Leslye Headland is an Emmy-nominated writer, producer, and director. She began her career writing and directing the SEVEN DEADLY PLAYS series, including Bachelorette and Assistance, which both had successful runs in New York. Bachelorette was the basis for her directorial film debut starring Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher, and Rebel Wilson. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012.
Most recently, Leslye served as writer, director, and showrunner for Netflix’s acclaimed series RUSSIAN DOLL (co-created by Natasha Lyonne and Amy Poehler), which was nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards and nine Creative Arts Emmy Awards, the latter of which it won three.
Leslye is currently working on the STAR WARS series THE ACOLYTE for Disney+ and serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. She is also currently directing and executive producing the Freeform pilot, SINGLE DRUNK FEMALE written by Simone Finch, executive produced by Jenni Konner, and starring Sofia Black-D’Elia, Ally Sheedy, Rebecca Henderson, Sasha Compère, Lily Mae Harrington, and Garrick Bernard. In addition to Star Wars and Single Drunk Female, Leslye has signed a multi-year, overall deal with Fox 21 Television Studios to create, develop and direct series for network, cable and streaming platforms.
We fangirl about Star Wars being a religion and what it’s been like to work with such amazing properties and creative geniuses.
To keep up on Leslye’s latest projects, be sure to follow her @veryleslyeheadland and @leslyeheadland.
Have a great week, and stay nerdy!
