Larkin Breitner

Logline: 18 year old outcast Alice has spent her entire life locked away in the attic of the Kappa Delta sorority house playing with insects and dreaming of true love. When it's finally time for her freshman year of college, Alice is willing to do anything to win the affections of her mother, her crush, and the Kappa Deltas. Even if it means swallowing a cursed tapeworm.

Bio: Raised in slow-moving rural Florida, Larkin Breitner grew up catching strange critters and watching too many cartoons. Now based in Brooklyn, these childhood pastimes have greatly influenced her writing-- she is known for her absurdist (and at times horrific), creature-filled pieces. Her love of fairytales, creepy crawlies, swamps, slow cinema, and Bugs Bunny fuels her imagination and encourages her to write female-led stories with themes of transformation and alienation. She is a recent MFA graduate of the NYU Tisch Department of Dramatic Writing. Her work has been featured in The Future is Female Playwright Fest, NYU 24HR Play Festival, NYU Festival of Short Works, and 7th Floor Film Festival.
