Kirsten Smith Career

Career

Smith began working with CineTel Films, an independent film company, while still in college; after that, she began working for CineTel reading scripts and reporting coverage. In 1995, she began working as a Director of Development, and then began to pursue screenwriting in earnest. Karen McCullah, an aspiring writer living in Denver, Colorado, wrote one of the scripts she was able to read and cover. The two women developed a friendship over the phone, and when McCullah arrived in Los Angeles, they met in person and began writing their first script on cocktail napkins that night. The script never sold, but it inspired the women to write ten Things I Hate About You, a spin on William Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew partially inspired by the recent teen comedy Clueless.

Smith made her first appearance as a screenwriter with 10 Things I Hate About You, a speculative screenplay. It was shot in Tacoma, Washington, near Smith's hometown, and a short time afterward. Smith was keen to bring feminism and post-feminism from her women's studies classes into the film's context, and she needed more of a riot grrl sound for the soundtrack during the writing process.

Smith went on to co-write Legally Blonde, which was nominated for two Golden Globes. The film, which costing only $18 million to produce, was a surprise hit, grossing $20 million in its first weekend in July 2001 and then increasing to over $140 million worldwide. It was also the basis of a smashing Broadway musical based on Smith and Lutz' screenplay.

Smith then performed Ella Enchanted, starring Anne Hathaway, and She's the Man, a DreamWorks adaptation of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night starring Amanda Bynes.

Smith wrote The Geography of Girlhood, a verse book that appeared in numerous literary journals in the 1990s, and in 2006, Smith wrote The Geography of Girlhood, a verse book. It's a coming-of-age tale about a teenage girl growing up in the Pacific Northwest that includes a smattering of the poems Smith wrote and published in her early twenties.

Anna Faris appeared in The Spleenectomy, a short film that was funded and produced by Reel Moments, a magazine published in New York. Anna Faris, a lead actress and director of Adam Sandler's Happy Madison Productions, co-wrote and executive produced The House Bunny, starring Anna Faris, which was also produced by Adam Sandler's Happy Madison Productions. It earned nearly $50 million in the United States.

Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler co-wrote The Ugly Truth in 2009, co-wrote The Ugly Truth, directed by Legally Blonde collaborator Robert Luketic and starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler. Whip It! was Elliot Page directed by Drew Barrymore, and she also produced American Virgin in 2009, starring Jenna Dewan and Rob Schneider.

Trinkets, her 2013 book, was turned into a Netflix television series in 2019. Multiple Daytime Emmy nominations and awards have been given to the series. In the Outstanding Writing for a Children's or Young Adult Program category in 2020, as well as the Outstanding Young Adult Drama category in 2020 and 2021, it received the award in both the Outstanding Writing for a Children's or Young Adult Program category.
