Jaimie-Lee (Jamie) Wise | Storyteller | Screenwriter | Stage Director | Producer | Playwright📩 jaimieleewise@jaimieleewise.com | 🌐 jaimieleewise.comI’m a writer and storyteller with a lot of experience and no fixed form, always choosing the medium that best suits each story. In a world where words can paint pictures in seconds, I’m excited by the endless possibilities. As a stage director, I’ve got a genuine love for actors and a knack for building strong ensembles where everyone feels supported to bring their best. I really enjoyed my time as an agency coordinator—if I wasn’t a storyteller, I could see myself being an agent.I’ve worked across a variety of industries, including Entertainment (ICM Partners, writer’s assistant to Michael Mann, screenwriting, TV development), Theatre (Playwright, Actor, Director), Commercial Production/Advertising (talent management, sales, producer, creative, copywriting), and non-profit (The American Cancer Society). Having founded two theatre companies, I bring leadership along with a strong set of administrative and operational skills.I’m laid-back but focused, with resilience, a solid work ethic, and a sense of humor that comes out in the stand-up I do for fun. I also write a lot of poetry and way too many letters in a time when people don’t seem to do that much. I recently picked up a run and gun camera and I'm having a ton of fun learning to tell stories that way too.I moved to Los Angeles because I fell in love with an era of TV I thought would last forever—but it didn’t. Many gigs and one pandemic later, I’m ready to join a television writer’s room—or even work as a writer’s assistant again (though staff would be ideal). I’m open to freelance, side gigs, agenting, or anything exciting that helps me keep the lights on.Writing & Development:Screenwriter and playwright with experience across multiple mediumsWriter's assistant to Michael MannTV development experienceCopywriting for commercial production/advertisingDirecting & Production:Stage director with a talent for building strong, supportive ensemblesIn-House Producer in commercial productionFounded two theatre companies, bringing leadership and operational skillsIndustry Experience:Entertainment: ICM Partners, various writing and development rolesTheatre: Actor, director, playwrightCommercial Production/Advertising: Talent management, sales, creativeNon-profit: The American Cancer SocietyAdditional Skills:Stand-up comedyPoetry writingEmerging skills in run-and-gun camera workVisual ArtistMaking TrailersCoverageTech Savvy
