Lisa Montalto

I am a screenwriter, producer, and creative professional with over eighteen years of experience in the entertainment industry, specializing in vertical storytelling, micro-dramas, AI production, and feature film development. I currently serve as a Vertical Screenwriter at DramaBox on a contract basis, where I research trending topics, archetypes, and audience interests in short-form storytelling, study competitors and top-performing vertical dramas to inform tone and structure, write short-form scripts for vertical storytelling, brainstorm hooks and cliffhangers for series of up to eighty episodes, and develop character arcs for fast-paced, micro-dramas designed for mobile viewing.

I also serve as a Micro-Drama Screenwriter and AI Producer at Gamehaus, where I write micro-drama scripts for production and produce using the Anamana AI tool. I am a Senior AI Producer at Razeltin, where I produce feature films, TV pilots, trailers, micro-dramas, commercials, and more using AI. I am also a Vertical Screenwriter and member of the Talent Hub at AMO Pictures.

Under my umbrella company, Wicked Weird Productions, which I have operated since May 2008, I freelance for major players in Hollywood in writing and producing capacities. I serve as a screenwriter, ghostwriter, novelist, producer, and copywriter, connected with a network of film investors and acting as a liaison between film projects and funding. My services include screenwriting original projects, screenwriting for hire, ghostwriting screenplays and novels, editing, script doctoring, business plans, and obtaining letters of intent and commitment from A-list celebrities, directors, and funders.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Journalism and Media Broadcasting from Northeastern University, where I was also a member of the dance team.

Across my career in entertainment, screenwriting, and AI production, my work has been driven by a passion for storytelling and a commitment to bringing compelling narratives to life across multiple platforms and formats. Whether I am writing for vertical dramas, producing AI-generated content, or developing feature films, I bring creativity, adaptability, and a deep understanding of audience engagement to every project. I am excited to continue working at the intersection of traditional storytelling and emerging technologies in the rapidly evolving entertainment landscape.
