Regurgitate (TV Half-Hour)

By Kristin Curtis

After going through open heart surgery, shy and soft-spoken YoYo Lee discovers she's been left with the worst possible side effect: she can’t stop blurting out her true feelings! It’s as if the doctors opened her heart and forgot to sew it shut.

Kristin Kairo Curtis is a Taiwanese-American bilingual writer, born and raised in Hong Kong. She graduated from Columbia’s MFA Screenwriting program in May 2020 and now lives in Los Angeles, working for writer/producer Carter Bays. Her feature script, Bag Lady, based on the true story of paper-bag-machine inventor Margaret E. Knight, won the Alfred P. Sloan Screenwriting Award in 2020. Her work often centers on women in comical stages of self-reinvention. As a survivor of five heart surgeries (soon to be six), Kristin is no stranger to the unfunny-ways that life throws curveballs in your plans. But pushing through it all, she promises to channel big heart energy (we’re talking medical-intervention-big!) into her work and collaborations.
