Layla Pigott

Storyteller
I'm Layla Pigott and
I'm ready to help tell stories with you!
A queer, nonbinary, transfemme graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts based in New York City, I have ten years of professional experience working in the film industry as a screenwriter and assistant film and TV editor.
​
I've written for story-driven, narrative-focused games and am currently the lead director/writer on a space western visual novel called Bitter Silver that had a successful Kickstarter in September 2024.
​
I'm also currently in the process of publishing my first novel, a dark comedy, sci-fi mystery story called A Second Try.
​
I'm a lover of world history, genre fiction (specifically science fiction, magical realism, and high fantasy), and interactive storytelling.
​
My favorite games include Planescape Torment, The Last of Us series, the Mass Effect and Dragon Age games, Fallout: New Vegas, Psychonauts, The Witcher 3, Tales from the Borderlands, The Stanley Parable, What Remains of Edith Finch, Papers, Please, The Wolf Among Us, and Half Life 2.
​
Some of my biggest storytelling influences range from Gabriel García Márquez and N.K. Jemisin to Josh Sawyer and Roberta Williams to Charlie Kaufman and Damon Lindelof.
