Shanice Williamson
Born in Queens, New York and raised between Queens and Irving, TX, I consider myself a cultural shapeshifting writer. By age 18, I'd already worked for Jamaica Savings Bank, Ernst & Young, and GTE (now Verizon). A recovering Paralegal, I left a nearly 20-year legal career to become a freelance production assistant in the Atlanta film industry. In 2014, I wrote, directed and produced Waiting Room, a dramatic short film about abortion which screened at the International Black Women’s Film Festival and Kingdomwood International Film Festival. The short is currently streaming on Amazon. I also wrote two pilots which advanced to the second round of Sundance’s Episodic Lab and Sundance|YouTube New Voices Lab. My comedy web series, All That Shabaz, is currently streaming on SparkkTV. I am one of seven Fellows in the inaugural class of Circle of Confusion's Writers Discovery Program. I currently reside in Burbank while working freelance in the television and film industry as a Producer and Director Assistant.
Always eager to learn more about the craft of TV Writing, I've taken acting classes to help write better characters. If you want a giggle or two, check out my monologue videos below.
