Carmen Brie is a South Carolina-born Army Brat. She started her (rather more sensible) career as a bioengineer, while scribbling erotic short stories by night. While working for the Army, she earned a second B.S. in Electronic Media and Film from Towson University before pursuing her MFA in Screenwriting from the University of Texas at Austin. Carmen has interned for Amy Talkington (“Little Fires Everywhere”) and developed a feature biopic for an independent producer. In addition to her published stories, Carmen is a Foshko Memorial Screenwriting Award winner and Humanitas Drama Fellowship Finalist. She currently teaches screenwriting workshops at UT.
