- Heather Ragsdale | IWC List 2026
< Back Heather Ragsdale Heatherragsdale@outlook.com Heather Ragsdale is the product of two hippies who moved to the wilderness of Northern California with a dream of living off the land. A childhood spent without electronics fueled her imagination. Not only did she read everything she could get her hands on, but the stage became her second home. Following high school, she was hired to teach foster teens improvisational skills as a way to recognize cycles of abuse. It gave her insight into the generations of women in her own family who had found a way to rise above their circumstances. As such, her scripts tend to revolve around survivors who choose to re-frame and re-write their stories. Inspired by the transformative power of storytelling, Heather moved to LA where she received her undergraduate degree from Occidental College in theater. Heather worked her way up from stage managing to producing new plays to directing. She returned to USC to get her Master’s degree in film production where she won a D.G.A. Award and a Student Emmy. Heather went on to work as a writer’s assistant for Toni Graphia and Ronald D. Moore. Her scripts have won and placed in CineStory, The Writers Lab, Final Draft Big Break, PAGE, Nicholl Fellowships, Austin Film Festival, and the Sundance labs.
