I write about gloomy stuff - grief, mortality, dysfunctional families - with humour, frankness, and a female gaze. We live in volatile times, and the best way to make sense of it all is to tell stories that shine through the darkness.I enjoy working in a variety of mediums, but TV writing is my happy place. I love to learn from fellow writers, and I thrive in collaborations where ideas are both challenged and given room to grow and evolve. My debut dramedy, A Remarkable Woman, was developed through MIDPOINT Series Launch, recently won Best Co-Production Pitch at Seriencamp, and is currently in development as a UK-France co-production. My second series, Veles, was selected for the Series Mania Writers’ Campus.Originally from Izmail, Ukraine, I now live in Toronto. Formerly a journalist and a visual effects production coordinator, I currently work in creative operations in the field of 3D art and motion design. If you are looking for a writer, writing partner, story editor, or just a conversation - I’d love to chat! Send me a note, and I promise to tell you a funny story about how I met Al Pacino 👀️ ︎︎︎ Email ︎︎︎ LinkedIn ︎︎︎ Instagram︎︎︎ IMDb <img width="4459" height="5645" width_o="4459" height_o="5645" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/edc868e6d6f8ea434d26390e897c79022ce2390af55a96096c2ec81f05847530/AnastasiiaStarova_Headshot-copy.jpg" data-mid="216054597" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/edc868e6d6f8ea434d26390e897c79022ce2390af55a96096c2ec81f05847530/AnastasiiaStarova_Headshot-copy.jpg" /> https://anastarova.com/Pitching Thu, 10 Oct 2024 20:00:14 +0000 Anastasiia Starova https://anastarova.com/Pitching <img width="5932" height="3856" width_o="5932" height_o="3856" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b4db17b54f2760e68c637f879367939deb0c4d69a2cfb266f524b515de8e610a/52515279851_cc3c319431_o.jpg" data-mid="219563166" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b4db17b54f2760e68c637f879367939deb0c4d69a2cfb266f524b515de8e610a/52515279851_cc3c319431_o.jpg" />A Remarkable Woman pitch, TV Beats Forum, Tallinn Black Nights Festival, 2022 <img width="2500" height="1661" width_o="2500" height_o="1661" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5b10b837c6827ebfb47eb451ba0de065b0d7616a0eb4eedef196b8a4c2a3dbf4/20-03-pitch-writers-campus-seb-champeaux-12.jpeg" data-mid="219563256" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5b10b837c6827ebfb47eb451ba0de065b0d7616a0eb4eedef196b8a4c2a3dbf4/20-03-pitch-writers-campus-seb-champeaux-12.jpeg" />Veles pitch, Series Mania Forum, 2024<img width="960" height="1280" width_o="960" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2b35a8c2ee50b337812078429968c64334ce55fedd39ca8a910391bebf77b665/e461110a-9a1c-4f8d-806c-b4002036c238.jpg" data-mid="234652347" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/960/i/2b35a8c2ee50b337812078429968c64334ce55fedd39ca8a910391bebf77b665/e461110a-9a1c-4f8d-806c-b4002036c238.jpg" /> A Remarkable Woman pitch, Seriencamp Conference, 2025 - with Pat Tookey-Dickson (and we won!!!) <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2bfdcca971caec7cf408e257ed77f4c939a6ec08b0fc763bd652d22ff9d47248/IMG_1735.jpeg" data-mid="234652353" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2bfdcca971caec7cf408e257ed77f4c939a6ec08b0fc763bd652d22ff9d47248/IMG_1735.jpeg" /> https://anastarova.com/More-Stuff Wed, 16 Feb 2022 19:40:12 +0000 Anastasiia Starova https://anastarova.com/More-Stuff TRAINING Industry Workshops &amp; Pitch Events:︎︎︎ Seriencamp Co-Production Pitch 2025 ︎︎︎ Series Mania Writers Campus 2024 ︎︎︎ MIDPOINT Series Launch 2022 ︎︎︎ MIDPOINT Writers Room 2021 Other Workshops: ︎︎︎&nbsp;Immigrant Writers Workshop 2021 ︎︎︎ Fiction Writing with Simon Van Booy 2021 ︎︎︎ Nonfiction Writing with Michele Filgate 2021 ︎︎︎ TV Writing with Alan Kingsberg 2014 Cinema Studies &amp; Film Production: ︎︎︎ Sheridan College, Canada 2015 ︎︎︎ FAMU, Prague 2014︎︎︎ Sorbonne 3, Paris 2013 Journalism &amp; Communications: ︎︎︎ Odesa National University, Ukraine 2012 PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT Series: ︎︎︎ A Remarkable Woman Writer / CreatorPeriod dramedy based on the diaries of Ukrainian artist Marie Bashkirtseff.
