Ellen Page Writing HBO Comedy “Stitch N’ Bitch”
Ellen Page is adding a TV writer-producer credit to her resume.
Page — who earned a Best Actress Oscar nod for her role in the 2008 comedy Juno — has signed on with HBO to pen a envelope-pushing series with fellow young actors, Alia Shawkat and Sean Tillmann. Stitch N’ Bitch focuses on two hipster girls as they relocate from Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood to Los Angeles’ Silver Lake enclave in hopes of becoming artists…..
The three worked together as roller girls in Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut Whip It, now in theaters. Page plays the lead, and Shawkat co-stars. Tillmann has a small role.
