Daniela Saioni is a multi-award-winning WGC comedy screenwriter, story editor and punch-up artist whose former work as a stand-up aired on CBC Radio One's Laugh Out Loud.
She has trained working comedians and laypeople alike in her various comedy writing programs since 2012, which has allowed her to shepherd the creation of over 100 original scripts.
A former script supervisor on major motion pictures and TV (Shazam!, A Simple Favor, Suits, My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Daniela has worked closely with top directors, writers and showrunners for decades and she brings this knowledge into her programs and her work. Her talents are varied but her mission is singular: change the world, one laugh at a time.
A few of Daniela's students and alumni have been staffed, landed agents, won awards, and even gone into development with pilots they wrote in this program - many with no prior screenwriting experience or training! Here's Keisha Prince's acceptance speech for Best Fresh Voice at the 2022 Female Eye International Film Festival, one of the many awards and honours she won for her pilot before going into development:
If you're still on the fence, remember: If you complete the first two modules as well as the premise and character work and are still not convinced this progam is for you, just send me an email showing your completed homework within 30 days of purchase and I will refund your entire investment.
