Fanny Nussbaumer, born in 1992, grew up in FAVOURITE WRITING PLACE
a Swiss village near the Rhine Falls. Alongside
school and an apprenticeship as a florist, she
was always drawn to the stage. Fanny wrote her
first play at the age of fourteen and has since
developed over ten plays with her independent
drama group Szenario. After completing her
diploma in scriptwriting at SAL Zurich in 2017,
Fanny also began writing for film and television.
She worked as a writer’s assistant on the latenight
show Deville on Swiss broadcaster SRF,
where she learned how to write funny under
pressure. In 2020, she successfully completed the
Drehbuchwerkstatt Munich and won the Script
Talent Award with her final screenplay 13cm.
The film is now called The Little Difference, a
queer-feminist romcom that Fanny is currently
developing with the film production company
Catpics AG in Switzerland. Over the past two
years, Fanny has also worked in two different
writers’ rooms. Both comedy series will be
published this year.
