Introduce Yourself : Screenwriter, musician and lover of all things animated in Louisville, KY by Dawn Murrell

Dawn Murrell

Screenwriter, musician and lover of all things animated in Louisville, KY

Hi everybody! My name is Dawn and I am a screenwriter/musician/dancer/ mom! After I watched Frozen and other animated movies over 100 million times, I told my four year old daughter that Mommy was going to make her a new movie, and I did! I have written two feature length animated movies and a television pilot based on the movie. I wrote 7 original songs for my movies too! I am determined to share them, find a producer one day and bring them to the world! I am fairly new to the business but I love meeting people and I love learning so... here I am! :)

Dawn Murrell

No. I love Frozen so I couldn't add to that perfection! LOL! I wrote animated feature about a princess with a disability. I also wrote a screenplay which is a new hip hop version of Goldilocks and the three bears. That screenplay is a finalist in a screenplay contest and I wrote the TV series pilot for that idea.

Hey Dawn, welcome to the community! This is the perfect place to share your features and network with people interested in collaborating on them. I recommend getting active in the lounge - that's a great place to learn new tips and meet other creatives interested in the same things as you are. We also have some great webinars and classes on writing for animation that you can take to help improve your stories. Once you're ready to pitch them, head over to the Happy Writers! :)

Thank you so much Shannon and Kathryn! I hope to learn everything I can from you because I want to get better and better! When you think your ideas are ready, who and where are the happy writers?

Dawn Murrell

Hi Dawn - it's a pleasure to meet you! Kudos for writing two animated movies! Please let me know if you need any voice talent for any of the characters. Be well and have a wonderful week!

Dawn Murrell

Thank you again Kathryn! I plan to enter a pitch competition for my animated series so I will definitely need the Happy Writers help! @Erica Risberg Hi there! Do you sing? I have several roles that might interest you when I start casting my movies! Thank you!

Erica Risberg

Hi Dawn - yes I do! I sing every morning to warm up my voice and would love the opportunity to sing in an animation! I am an alto. You just put the biggest smile on my face for asking!
