Arianna Crawford: Romance Screenwriter

Projects

Stories about real, everyday love.

Do You Remember?

Genre: Romantic Dramedy
Logline: After her childhood best friend moves across the country, a young photographer sets out to find herself. But when she realizes he's the one who's seen her all along, she must decide whether she can love him without losing herself.

Do You Remember? is a love story about memory: what we hold for each other, what we risk losing, and how to love despite it all. Set against the backdrop of Charlotte, NC, and told through secret handwritten letters, slow dances in an art gallery, and the kind of banter only best friends share, Eric and June's story follows them as they find their way back to each other and learn how to love each other without making themselves smaller. It's the charm and maturity of When Harry Met Sally meets the slow-burn tension of People We Meet on Vacation.

It's the first in a series of standalone romances set in the same world. Next up: Something Real.

Something Real

Genre: Romantic Dramedy

Logline: After a romantic encounter throws her off balance, Allison is hired to consult for a struggling winery owned by the man who sent her reeling, and the closer they work, the more they wonder what’s worth risking for something real.

In Something Real, things get heated in the Napa sunshine as an independent Allison and widowed father Andrés struggle to resist their romantic tension, which they must for the sake of his family and her career. As they try to channel this passion into work on the vineyard, things can’t help but bleed into their personal lives, from private late-night wine tastings to Star Trek marathons with his son. But can they let go of what's been holding them back for too long, or will they stick with what feels familiar and safe? Something Real blends the stakes of The Proposal, the themes of Safe Haven, and the emotional register of Sleepless in Seattle.

Meet Arianna

  • At the start of 2026, I began pursuing a long-held dream of mine full-time: screenwriting, particularly in the romance genre. With two feature scripts under my belt and a third underway, I'm excited to continue writing stories about all the different ways we love in our everyday lives.

    I've always been driven by my passion for storytelling and fostering communities that thrive on authentic connection, regardless of medium (though so far, screenwriting is my favorite).

    This passion began at Stanford with my English degree, developed further as COO at The Stanford Daily Newspaper post-grad, and continued in my work as Senior Social Media Manager at Big Valley Marketing, where I harnessed social media's power to connect unicorn startups and Fortune 500 clients with their audiences through award-winning, human-centric campaigns.

  • I’ve been a lifelong bookworm and cinephile.  I’m drawn to stories with magical realism, mind-bending experimental forms, and life-changing love stories. 

    I’m a self-described “I listen to anything” type of person, but I really love blues, jazz, and indie pop the most. In my spare time, I dabble in landscape photography (which has fed a love for traveling) and pottery.
