Rachel Weise is an LA-based writer-producer who began her career as an entertainment attorney, representing an impressive array of clients ranging from screenwriters to streamers including Netflix. After earning her Producing MFA at the AFI Conservatory, she worked as a creative executive at Maniac Productions (CHOIR, CODE BLACK) where she developed several television projects for their overall deal with Blumhouse, including DIE, THE BATTERSEA POLTERGEIST, and THE FOLD.
