Marisa Nanakhorn Brown is an Australian-born writer, developer, script editor and creative producer of Thai-New Zealand heritage, who is passionate about a range of genres, but is always drawn to the themes of belonging, being an outsider, and finding your place in the world.
In recent years she has been shortlisted for the AWG Diversity Showcase and the SBS Short Scripted Initiative, long-listed for the 2018 Monte Miller Awards and the 2024 John Hinde Awards, and was accepted into the 2021 Originate initiative (run by Film Vic, SBS, and Arenamedia). In 2019, Marisa spent nine months working in the script department of the Netflix show 'Clickbait', then moved onto Development Assistant on 'Fires' (ABC), before picking up a full time role in the development department at Tony Ayres Productions in early 2020, where she has worked across a broad range of projects for the local and international markets.
Marisa wrote two episodes on the first season of the ABC / CBBC show 'Spooky Files', as well as script editing the show, and is now writing, script editing, and Associate Producing on season two. She was also shortlisted for the 2023 round of Untapped, run by Australians in Film, and undertook a residency at Charlie's in late 2023.
