Just out of film school, Victoria Strouse began her career with two major script sales - the second of which - JUST LIKE A WOMAN, sold in a bidding war to Newline Cinema. In between script sales, she has written for every major studio, sold several television pilots, and staffed on TV shows. Her script, SEEKERS OF PERPETUAL LOVE was included on the Black List in 2008 and she is now preparing to direct it. After being the on-set writer for Universal’s LITTLE FOCKERS, Victoria spent three years at Pixar, writing FINDING DORY. She is now writing (and rewriting) feature films, including LET IT SNOW (currently filming) for Netflix, SNOW WHITE (to be directed by Marc Webb) for Disney and SILVER WINGS (to be directed by Tommy Kail) for Disney. She recently sold an original TV pilot to FX and is attached to direct her original script, US VS. THEM, with STX producing.
