ABOUT THE SERIES:
For nearly two decades, this female screenwriting duo’s work has created an incalculable number of core cinematic memories, which is why the American Cinematheque is thrilled to welcome Kirsten “Kiwi” Smith, Karen McCullah & Special Guests in person as we pay tribute to their writing.
Not unlike the character of Elle Woods, Smith & McCullah’s determined optimism is central to each story they tell. Kicking off with the classic underdog tale, THE HOUSE BUNNY, followed by the sparkling adaptations, ELLA ENCHANTED, SHE’S THE MAN and 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, Smith & McCullah show us how to add new dimensions to time-tested tales. In LEGALLY BLONDE and THE UGLY TRUTH, they bring us characters that meet the pressures of modern womanhood with style and grace, something Kiwi & Karen may know a thing or two about. Join us as we sit back and let the ladies show us how it’s done.
