Let’s Get Personal.
Hi - I'm Amy Hutchins and I’m a passionate and unapologetic, queer Gen-Xer from Texas—who loves female underdogs versus really bad guys. I am infatuated with themes of ultimate vengeance and confronting transgressive behaviors that often result in intensely dark and downer endings [sometimes flecked with bits of hope and humor.]
My Portfolio Brand.
I write features featuring bold female protagonists in extreme situations —where the light at the end of the tunnel usually includes climbing over a stack of dead bodies. [ I do have a dystopian sci-fi thriller Pilot, too. ]

My Weird Resume.
I’ve held a variety of professional positions in advertising, marketing, journalism and the entertainment industry—including writing, but mainly in the multimedia, game design, film and tv—adjacent life. [ AKA: I went to an incredible film school long ago and have been playing dress-up in completely different fields professionally until recent years. ] LinkedIn can show you the way.
I’ve been working on several screenplay projects over the past 5 years and am actively seeking representation.
I’m based in the Austin, TX area—but available to travel.
