Molly Rydzel

Molly Rydzel is a playwright, WGAE screenwriter, script consultant, and professor of screenwriting at NYU. A Catwalk alumna (August 2024), Rydzel returns to continue work on her provocative new play ChatGPT Says He Raped Me, which examines consent, kink gone wrong, artificial intelligence, and the uneasy transformation of private experience into consumable content. Having written a horror film during her previous stay, she looks forward to once again using Catwalk’s secluded environment to deepen focus and build momentum on this challenging and timely project.
