Caitlin ROSE Arcand

Caitlin Rose Arcand is an award-winning screenwriter, producer and script exec, using her psychology degree for anything but being a psychologist. Her directorial debut feature, “Burn Baby Burn” (the chaotic gay mob movie), is currently in development after winning Best Feature Screenplay at Hollywood International Diversity, Best Feature Dialogue at Flight Deck Film Festival and Outstanding Achievement for a Feature Screenplay at the Massachusetts Independent Film Festival. She recently wrapped her directorial debut short “Starlyfe,” to be released this spring. Previously, she produced the two award-winning queer short films, “Happy Hour” and “Oreo,” in addition to working in production for Netflix, Luminant Media and Dirty Water Media.

 

As a comedian and writer, Caitlin specializes in “the worst people you know,” bringing to life all the unsavory characters that the East Coast has to offer. Her candid stories have been heard on stages all over the country, notably appearing at The North Carolina Comedy Festival, Solocom NYC, The Portland Comedy Festival and her parents’ living room. She grew up as a performer in the Boston and Providence queer arts scenes, producing and performing alongside drag performers who hated her makeup. In 2021, she was named one of CitiBank and Buzzfeed's Women to Watch for her women/LGBTQ+ centered humor platform, inspired by two sold-out years of Boston's only all-female comedy show, which she founded and hosted.

 

Caitlin moonlights as a "businesswoman," working in film and TV as a marketing & screenwriting executive through her company Arcand Entertainment & Creative. She has tackled her career with an “I’ll try anything once,” approach which has landed her in places including: running a weekly late night show in a crowded Boston sports bar and directing a multi-cam water polo match for ESPN, a skill she had approximately 5 minutes to acquire.
