Mishki Vaccaro is a film and television writer splitting her time between Los Angeles, Toronto and Costa Rica. Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Mishki has dual US/Canadian citizenship, a B.A. in Cultural Studies from McGill University and an M.F.A. in Screenwriting from the University of Southern California.
She's worked in feature development at Simon Kinberg’s Genre Films (X-Men, The Martian, Deadpool) and in television production at Jason Winer’s Small Dog Picture Company (Modern Family, Life In Pieces, The Big Leap), with additional experience on Single Parents (ABC), Woman Up (ABC pilot), and Perfect Harmony (NBC).
From a young age, Mishki understood the cathartic nature of storytelling and the power of owning your own narrative. Mishki writes female-centric dark comedy that explores the deep fears and dilemmas of the human experience. She thinks of screenwriting as “good magic,” accidentally has two dogs and will absolutely read your astrology chart.
