LeAnn Scrimmager (Lee) is a New York City-based producer, development executive, and screenwriter. A graduate of Temple University, where she studied media business and entrepreneurship, she has built her career across unscripted and scripted television, working with organizations including Tony Bennett's management company, the International Documentary Association, and Smriti Mundhra's Meralta Films.

Her most recent role was Manager of Development & Original Production at WEtv/ALLBLK, where she developed unscripted and scripted IP with creative partners, and executive produced television and film. Her credits include Wiggin Out with Tokyo Stylez, nominated for Outstanding Reality Program at the 36th GLAAD Media Awards, Deb's House, a Telly Award winner in the Television Game Show & Competition category, and Funny Thing About Love, a romantic comedy starring Kourtney George, Courtney Burrell, and Jessie Woo.

As a filmmaker and screenwriter, Lee's debut narrative short, BellaDonna, was nominated for Best Experimental Film at the 2025 North Film Festival. She was a quarterfinalist for the 2026 Black Girl Writes Mentorship Initiative, and her feature screenplay, Love Child, was accepted into the Plenty of Pie Talent Incubator, led by 3x Emmy Award winner Sasheen Artis. She is currently in the Contained Shorts Writer’s Lab, where she is workshopping her horror proof of concept, Girlsss, and will direct her dark comedy short, Object of My Desire, through her production banner, GALINA PICTURES.

Lee's creative work returns to a theme that connects all her stories: women on the verge of becoming themselves, and all that they destroy along the way.
