In Chinatown, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power is L.A.'s most corrupt institution.
Holly Sheidenberger came to Hollywood to be an actress — and ended up running the office of the labor union charged with keeping the DWP's power in check.
She has since spent seven years writing psychological thrillers.
Her debut screenplay, The Sanguine Scissors, is the flagship of a four-property slate she wholly owns.
She develops her projects in creative partnership with her husband, Hollywood composer and orchestrator Todd Sheidenberger, who has written original score material for the slate.
Holly's conviction that every human being (no matter how evil or boring or ignorant or irritating) is in fact deeply fascinating, if you would take the time to get to know them, is what attracted her to acting. That same insatiable curiosity is what drives her to create characters on the page rather than the stage.
Her stories come alive in the places she has called home: misty Seattle, sunlit Los Angeles, and the harsh Sonoran Desert.
