Carrie Smith is a writer, producer, game master, and creative entrepreneur from Los Angeles, California. She holds a BFA in Television Writing and Production from Chapman University, and has worked across development, production, and publicity for companies including Broadway Video, Tornante TV, Paramount, Universal, and PICTURESTART.

Carrie is the founder of Carrie Smith Creative, LLC, the production company behind her original work, and Roll for Connection, a Dungeons & Dragons-based social recreation program for neurodivergent teens and adults. Through Roll for Connection, she uses TTRPGs to facilitate community-building, skill development, and meaningful connection, drawing on her training in the Game to Grow method of therapeutically applied role-playing games (TA-RPGs), her background as a screenwriter, and her skillset as a UCB-trained improviser.

Her work could best be described as “genre absurdism with lots of heart”: stories about interesting people whose lives fall apart, and the delightfully unhinged ways they go about putting themselves back together again.
