Film Interns

Mackenzie Costanzo is comedy writer whose experience primarily focuses on  character-driven narratives. In addition to a feature-length film, Costanzo has also written several television pilots and comedy sketches.

During her senior year at DePaul University, where she studied Film and Television (Screenwriting), Mackenzie had the opportunity to work as an intern in Los Angeles at The Gotham Group and Wonder Worldwide. Throughout her time at both companies, she provided coverage on numerous titles as well as draft notes for potential clients.

She currently works as a freelance story analyst and reader for CoverFly, where she provides clients, both professional and amateur alike, constructive feedback and suggestions for improving their projects.

When she isn’t writing, Costanzo can often be found exploring Chicago’s restaurant scene, attending improv shows, or watching one of the many films on her ever-growing watchlist.
