Patti Carr

Industry Experience

Patti started her industry career in New York City as a freelance video editor for projects
ranging from low-budget movie trailers to high-end escort service catalogs. Moving to
Hollywood was a natural transition. Today, Patti is a writer/Showrunner/Executive Producer
whose credits range from KIM POSSIBLE and CATDOG (animation) to BOY MEETS WORLD and
REBA (half-hour multi-cam) to MIXOLOGY (half-hour single-cam) to PRIVATE PRACTICE, 90210,
THE GOOD DOCTOR and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (hour-long drama and sci-fi.) In addition, she
has sold and produced pilots in both comedy and drama for networks such as NBC, ABC, CBS,
CW, USA and Hulu.

Creative Work/ Specializations/ Publication Highlights
Patti’s professional interests go beyond teaching writing as a craft to protecting writing as a
career. A member of the Writers Guild of America West since 1997, Patti has served as a
Pension and Health Trustee since 2011, and was elected to the WGAW Board from 2017 to
2022. She served in leadership during the 2019 AMBA/Agency Campaign, the 2023 WGA strike,
and has been on three MBA Negotiating Committees.

Favorites
Among Patti’s favorites are Jaws, The Sopranos, and Airplane! When not watching or making
TV, she enjoys cooking and eating out, yoga, travel, and going down internet rabbit holes under
the guise of “research.” Her favorite daytime temperature is 75⁰F.
