Scottie Harvey is a writer, performer, and animator from Los Angeles. She received her BFA (Film & Television) & MFA (Dramatic Writing) from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where she found animation’s unlikely twin in theatre. Her work brings cartoon logic into alternative mediums, translating gravity-defying gags for the theatre stage or by writing emotionally grounded character studies into otherwise absurd contexts.
Most recently, Scottie’s dramatic work has been featured at Dynasty Handbag’s “Weirdo Night” and her fiction writing will be included in Michelle Tea’s Clowns Anthology (DOPAMINE, 2026). Her play “A Live-Action Adaptation of an Episode of Tom & Jerry” ran at Pageant (Brooklyn, 2023) and had a reading at Theatre Rhinoceros (San Francisco, 2024). Her musical “Something’s in the Water at Abortion Beach!” premiered at Ars Nova’s ANTFEST (2022). She is the recipient of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival’s Paula Vogel Award in Playwriting (2020).
Her animated work has been featured by artists such as Julien Baker and TORRES, and appeared in festivals such as Rhode Island Film Festival, Palm Springs Animation Festival, Berlin Filmhaus, and FLAnimation.
Since October 2023, Scottie has run the residency/performance art space “Van Noord Van Noord” which has hosted resident artists such as Erin Markey, Avery Gerhardt, Carl Holder, and Sacha Vega. She is co-host of the monthly sold out “Animation Clubhouse” with Sam Lane.
Scottie is currently writing her first novel about the last Cold Stone Creamery.
