Ran Ran Wang (She/Her) is a Chinese American screenwriter and IP scout. She started her career as a theater director, and most notably, co-directed a four-week run of THE GOAT, OR WHO IS SYLVIA by Edward Albee and directed the worldwide premiere of RATSKIN by Brian Dang. By the huge rallying support of the Asian American community in South Seattle, RATSKIN sold out its entire six-show run. Since then, she’s grown a career as an IP/book scout where she helps her creative development colleagues identify and acquire IP for adaptation. She is currently the Director of Development of Literary Affairs at Paramount Pictures and was previously at Netflix. Ask her for book recommendations. She’s read a lot of books. In her evening screenwriting hours, Ran Ran focuses on telling stories about the complicated power of friendship and found family. Her work is grounded in a recognizable world but is complicated by some kind of genre element, whether that be crime, supernatural, speculative, or other. When she’s not reading or writing, you can find her at the DnD table with friends or waking up at 6am to watch Formula 1
