Hi, I'm Bettina Moss, and thanks for visiting.  Please take your time to explore my passion projects contained in these pages. 

 

* Catfish is a romantic comedy script in which a middle aged woman is scammed online by someone pretending to be a handsome French influencer, wires him thousands of dollars, then discovers she's been 'had.' Refusing to be a victim, she teams up with the (much younger) real guy and together they chase the scammer across Paris. 

 

 

* The Dream Merchant's Daughter is a historical fantasy (romantacy) novel that unfolds in New York City, time jumping between 1976 and 1916.

 

 

* Finding Daylight is a documentary that follows two September 11th families as they move forward from grief, learning how to reclaim the future one day at a time.

About Me

 

     

 

 

As Managing Story Editor for HBO Films, and during time spent as a Fulbright Specialist researching Cross-Cultural Storytelling, I developed a keen understanding of strong narratives, both fictional and real. This led me to how I define myself now – a creative whose goal is to illuminate our deepest human needs.

 

I live in Los Angeles but was born and raised in New York City and often develop stories that feature the 'city that never sleeps' as a pivotal character.

 

I'm also a big believer in self-reinvention.  Upon graduating from Columbia University, I pursued a career in journalism and, later, worked in the film and television industry.  Another turn took me into academia where I taught screenwriting. 

 

Now, my focus is filmmaking, both documentary and fiction, and writing for TV, film and in the lit world.
