Justin Douglas

Justin Douglas is a screenwriter, comedian, and retired Mascot based in Los Angeles.

After studying at the Arcade Comedy Theater in Downtown Pittsburgh, Justin continued chasing his dream of being a screenwriter by attending the Second City Training Center in Chicago and earning a Masters of Fine Arts in Screenwriting from DePaul University. In 2023 he was named a Sesame Street Writer’s Room Fellow as well as a Finalist at the Austin Film Festival.

Justin enjoys writing stories that are comedic and borderline absurd, as he sees the importance in comedy as a form of escape. As the uncle to ten nieces and nephews, he is also aware of the content he generates in an attempt to make it accessible and appropriate to consumers of all ages. 

Currently working as a Story Editor for a production company in Santa Monica, Justin is heavily involved in all aspects of Development, providing coverage, draft comparisons, research, and notes in an attempt to help promote marginalized voices within the entertainment industry.
