Genevieve Sage is a comedy-forward screenwriter and playwright crafting sharp, high-concept stories for television, film, and stage, centered on complicated, charismatic women navigating ambition, reinvention, and beautifully messy lives.
An actress turned writer, Genevieve has developed multiple pilots and screenplays circulating in the industry, including the co-written pilot DIRTY LAUNDRY — soft-optioned by That's Wonderful/Warner Bros. and placed in Coverfly's Top 20% one-hour comedy TV pilots and 25% overall. She recently completed Kristen Tepper's (Kingmaker) Comedy Verticals Writer's Room Fellowship, and her current slate spans genre and comedy, from a psychological/erotic thriller in the vein of The Dreamers and Gone Girl to a horror feature and several half-hour comedy pilots.
Her work blends fast dialogue, cultural satire, and emotional truth. A contributor to Another Jane Pratt Thing, she's performed nationwide in sketch comedy and appeared on Portlandia, Leverage, and storytelling stages including RISK! and Get Mortified. Most recently, she wrote and performed in the produced play What We Buried and is now in pre-production on her new feature film, "The Exercise," a horror film about an acting class cult.
