An award-winning writer and published author since the third grade, Danielle Weinberg recently sold her original romcom script MANSION SITTER, in development now with Johnson Production Group. Danielle’s play MURDER, PARTY OF TEN debuted in 2020, and in 2022, four festivals selected her comedic short film DOWN WITH THE SHIP.

Danielle's writing style is witty and smart, with fun twists and snappy banter. Her influences include Steve Martin, Mel Brooks, Billy Wilder, and Steven Spielberg. She has placed in the Top 10% of the Academy Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting, and her pilot CURIOSITY reached the quarterfinals of both the ScreenCraft TV Pilot Script Competition and Final Draft’s Big Break Screenwriting Contest.
