Workshop Instructor

Lauren Veloski is a screenwriter, comedy writer, creative coach, and founder of THAT’S BANANAS—a groundbreaking community for women and nonbinary writers. Her first feature, the indie comedy “SORRY, THANKS,” was praised by Lena Dunham for writing “as seamless as any studio rom-com—if studio rom-coms had astute, nuanced dialogue.” An “unromantic comedy” about casual douchebaggery, “SORRY, THANKS” world-premiered at SXSW, played 15 fests internationally, and sold to IFC/Sundance. After 15 years as the “story brain” in the room on countless television and film projects, Lauren launched THAT’S BANANAS in 2022 to no less than spark a revolution. Though THAT’S BANANAS, Lauren teaches kooky-fresh courses year-round and coaches women/nonbinary writers of all levels, helping them come fully into their badassery and power on the page.
