On this episode of Write Who You Know, I sit down with screenwriter, funny lady, and candy expert, Lauryn Kahn! Lauryn takes us through her journey from New Jersey to LA, where she started working in reality TV before becoming Adam McKay's assistant, assisting him on films like STEP BROTHERS, THE OTHER GUYS and helping he and Will Ferrell launch Funny or Die. While working for McKay, Lauryn wrote her first feature, HE'S FUCKING PERFECT, a script that famously sold for $1M and landing on The Black List, making Lauryn an in-demand writer overnight. Since then, Lauryn has written IBIZA (on Netflix) and gonzo horror-rom-com FRESH, starring Sebastian Stan and Daisy Edgar Jones, streaming on HULU while rewriting other people's movies and working on her newest project, coming soon! #FRESH #IBIZA #WGAstrong #AdamMcKay #StepBrothers #TheOtherGuys #FunnyorDie.
