Less Precious Productions

Elizabeth Conway and Frankie MacLaughlin are a writing, producing, and creative team who are obsessed with understanding society's flaws. They co-founded LESS PRECIOUS PRODUCTIONS back in 2018, after meeting at an audition in Los Angeles. The rest is history! Through their scripts, they seek to offer relief around our culture’s biggest question marks - approaching uncomfortable, arcane, and abstract themes with a vengeance, and embracing the unconventional. In the universes they create, anyone and everyone can be the main character.

Sharing theatrical and improvisational backgrounds, Frankie and Elizabeth write from a character first perspective. Their scripts come to life from free play in a rehearsal room, which is how they eventually craft fine-tuned, natural dialogue. They’re interested in telling stories that challenge stereotypes and redefine the cultural zeitgiest. Whether it’s female-identifying protagonists in the mob boss/assassin roles, tales of friendship between hot octogenarians, or romantic comedies in developing nations- they dive in headfirst, and always strive to do their research and get it right.
