Screenwriter

Kobie.

I’m a screenwriter who builds stories from the ground up – high-concept hooks anchored in genuine character arcs. I write and consult on feature films and television pilots that work in the studio system without sacrificing emotional truth.

About Kobie Lyons

I am a screenwriter and filmmaker with a passion for high-concept, character-driven storytelling. With experience spanning feature films, television development, directing, and performance, I’ve built a career creating commercial stories that balance marketability with genuine emotional resonance. I’ve worked with clients across the entertainment industry and was a recipient of the prestigious Walt Disney Writing Fellowship.
I attended the University of California, Berkeley where I received my B.A. I have written and directed two feature films, and created The Script Dojo, a screenwriting course that teaches commercial screenplay development with emphasis on four-quadrant storytelling. As a working writer, director, actor, and voice artist, I bring a multi-dimensional understanding to every project I touch.
Thank you for taking the time to explore my work. If you have a project you’d like to discuss or are interested in screenwriting instruction, please contact me and we can chat more.

Skill.

Great scripts don’t happen by accident. They’re built with precision, shaped by experience, and refined through collaboration. Every story has different demands – action or intimacy, spectacle or silence – but the craft underneath stays the same. After enumerable writing projects, a Disney Fellowship, and countless scripts developed, these are the skills I’ve sharpened along the way.
