Bio
An LA and NYC-based playwright and filmmaker, Christy was named to Variety’s 10 Screenwriters to Watch 2018. Her original stage play “To Quiet the Quiet” was awarded the 2019 Woodward/Newman Drama Award soon after. She wrote and executive-produced/co-created the series adaptation of Charles Foreman’s graphic novel, “I Am Not Okay With This,” for Netflix and 21 Laps, which premiered in 2020. Christy also adapted Stephen King’s “The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon” for Vertigo and Village Roadshow, and she’s very proud of her adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel “It Ends With Us,” starring Blake Lively. Most recently, she completed work on her feature directorial debut, “Daddio,” one of Christy’s own original screenplays, which stars Sean Penn and Dakota Johnson.
“Daddio” made its world premiere at the 2023 Telluride Film Festival before screening at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival and the Tribeca Film Festival 2024. The independently made film enjoyed a wide release in theaters in the summer of 2024, distributed by Sony Pictures Classics. Currently, Christy is adapting the beloved novel “Meet Me At the Lake” by Carley Fortune for Netflix, as well as the Nebula Award-winning first novel of the Wayward Children series "Every Heart A Doorway" by Seanan McGuire for Paramount.
