Amanda Alvich is a New York Emmy-winning comedy writer, filmmaker, and video producer based in Brooklyn. With more than a decade of experience, she’s developed original and branded content for Paramount, NBCUniversal, BuzzFeed, Hearst, and most recently Ramp. Her work spans everything from long-form television to social-first storytelling, always grounded in sharp writing, character, and comedy.

In recent years, Amanda’s work has increasingly explored experimental formats and unconventional distribution, blending live experiences, internet culture, and emerging tools to create moments that travel from the real world into the digital one. She’s drawn to ideas that feel participatory, slightly chaotic, and emotionally honest, the kind that don’t sit neatly in a single medium.

She’s the creator and host of Top 5 Comedy, a live monthly show featured in the New York Comedy Festival that blends stand-up with audience interaction and themed chaos. Her short screenplay Tiffany’s Funeral was a runner-up in the Tribeca x DoorDash Film Competition and is currently being formatted as a pilot. Earlier in her career, Amanda was a finalist in the Coca-Cola Regal Films competition, directing a national spot that screened in theaters across the country.

Amanda holds a Master’s in Directing from the School of Visual Arts and began her career in PR before realizing she was better off writing her own stories than pitching someone else’s. Her work balances humor and emotional honesty, often exploring mental health and identity through a darkly comic lens. She also naps professionally, has two judgmental cats, and believes the best stories are the ones that make you laugh right before they make you feel something.
