About Kristen Tepper

I\'m a south suburbs-Chicago native who has been obsessed with writing ever since I joined a Nancy Drew fan-fic website in 6th grade. Since moving to LA I\'ve built a career in film marketing, crafting social campaigns and pitch decks for producers, studios, and directors from Amazon, HBO, Blumhouse, QCODE, CAA and other various high-profile production companies. My feature Better Luck Next Time landed on the 2022 Black List and since then I\'ve crossed into television as a showrunner’s assistant. You can find me yapping on TikTok (55K), Instagram (20k) and Substack (7k), about my insights on the industry and culture + my journey toward becoming a professional writer ++ interviewing fellow creatives on The Hollywood Hang podcast.
