About

Welcome!

Aleisha Hull is a screenwriter hailing from Savannah, Georgia, where she grew up as the black sheep in a larger-than-life, politically liberal yet socially conservative working-class family. She relocated to Los Angeles in late 2019, sight unseen, to pursue a screenwriting career. She studied sketch writing at UCB Sunset and Writing for TV at UCLA's Professional Program. Some of her credits include WPA/2nd WA on The Last OG (s4) and WA on Netflix's Sex/Life (s2). Most recently, two of her samples placed as 2nd Rounder at Austin Film Festival for the 2022 and 2023 screenwriting competitions: Like Mother, Like Daughter, a dark comedy about a woman who fakes a mental illness to help her bipolar mom get the help she can’t afford, and Iagos, a mystery/comedy about a morally rich woman mysteriously recruited to be a professional home wrecker post a bad breakup.

Aleisha enjoys writing grounded stories about messy women learning to accept themselves in a world where they're deemed unacceptable. Currently, she resides in Los Angeles, where she works in Creative Advertising for theatrical releases.
