Congratulations to Our 2025 TV Fellowship Winner, Pamela Hamer!

We’re thrilled to introduce our 2025 TV Fellowship winner, Pamela Hamer, whose original comedy pilot, YOUR BIGGEST FAN, impressed us with its wit, charm, and authenticity. In YOUR BIGGEST FAN, a one-night stand between an exhausted middle-aged mom and the world’s biggest pop star threatens to blow up the lives they’ve carefully created.

As this year’s TV Fellowship winner, Pamela receives free tuition and housing for this year’s retreat as well as a private advisory session at the retreat with all attending mentors, who include working Hollywood agents, managers, producers, development executives, showrunners, and other pros. In addition, Pamela receives a cash prize of $3,000 and a 12-month fellowship program with two of our mentors.

Pamela Hamer is an emerging screenwriter and clinical psychologist who lives in Denver by way of New York City.

Pamela’s fascination with other people’s stories has always drawn her to occupations that allow her to be professionally nosy, first in journalism at Newsweek magazine where she edited a popular personal essay column, then as a clinical psychologist in settings as varied as the county jail, an intensive care unit, and private practice, and now as a screenwriter.

She has studied the craft of screenwriting at the Lighthouse Writers Workshop with alumni of UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television program, and improv at the Bovine School of Improv. She is passionate about telling stories that center and celebrate the experiences of funny, messy, middle-aged women.

Mostly, though, she’s relieved to have found a line of work where her need to get a laugh is considered an asset.
