TV Writing
Puppy Dog Pals
Starting on the show in season one, Cassie went from production coordinator to script coordinator to freelance writer and then finally staff writer!
TOM AND JERRY TIME
Same classic characters but with less violence and more slapstick comedy! Cassie wrote two episode outlines for this storyboard-driven show.
Bugs bunny builders
Cassie grew up on Looney Tunes, so it was a joy to write three freelance episodes and hear Bugs, Daffy, and Porky say their words!
BLIppi wonders
Cassie had fun writing five shorts in all the show’s glorious energetic silliness. Though they’re still recovering from a Blippi theme song addiction…
MORPHLE and the magic pets
Imaginative and super silly with a heap of heart? Yes, please! Cassie wrote six freelance episodes and can’t wait to see the final animation premiere!
