Hi! I'm Ceci. I'm an LA-based Screenwriter, Director, Comedy Improviser, and Actor.
After graduating from UMass Amherst with a BA in Italian Studies and a Commonwealth Honors College thesis in “Writing Comedy Television & Developing an Original Comedy Series,” my journey as a filmmaker in the professional industry started as a Set and Office PA on productions all around Massachusetts. A Bostonian born-and-raised, I've worked on projects for NBC Universal, Apple TV+, Max, 20th Century Studios, Paramount+, Netflix, Hallmark, and Lionsgate, as well as several independent features. As a lifelong writer, I itched to develop my own stories, and in March of 2023, I completed my post-grad directorial debut short film with a small crew made up entirely of female and nonbinary filmmakers.
Now newly LA-based, I am over the moon to continue my career in the heart of the industry. I gravitate towards stories that center women, children, and underrepresented identities, most recently with an aspect of fantasy and adventure. Currently, I'm working on writing two shows - one being an hour-long sci-fi series about music camp and monsters, inspired by my many years spent at a summer camp in Maine, and the other an hour-long dramedy set in the North End, inspired by my Italian-American heritage and college studies. Favorite shows include Stranger Things, Parks & Recreation, Percy Jackson & The Olympians, and Gilmore Girls, and I aim to write & direct for teen and young-adult audiences.
I've been doing improv comedy for eight years, since I was a junior in High School, and I am often at my happiest when I'm being silly with funny friends and making other people laugh. At UMass Amherst, I was a performing member of the short form improv troupe Mission:IMPROVable for all four years, and since then I've stayed fresh with improv skills and goofiness through classes at Improv Asylum in Boston, MA, and the Mosesian Center for the Arts in Watertown, MA. Currently, I'm going through the training programs at both Upright Citizens Brigade and Groundlings in Los Angeles, and I'm loving every bit of it!
You can find me pretty much anywhere online @cecicipullo or posting about the books I read and projects I'm working on @bycecicipullo on Instagram. On my website, you'll find my blog where I write about all manner of things, my film portfolio, and my writing portfolio. If something catches your eye, please feel free to shoot me a message here.
I hope something makes you laugh today, and thanks for stopping by my website!
