Pamela Duffy-Little (Writer)

Pamela Duffy-Little has been a writer for 25 years, starting her own marketing agency and selling it last year. She is also the mother of three children, including one teenage daughter who unintentionally inspired Nice Girls, Not (the original name for Almost Popular). Over Covid, Pam watched her daughter and her friends interact — interactions that would normally happen at school. She was able to see firsthand the trials and tribulations of high school teenagers, the angst and the humor, to tell the story of two kids battling for popularity among their peers . Pam also co-created and executive produced the streaming talk show, Girl Talk.  Pam has nearly 10 other TV and feature film projects in various stages of development and founded Kalusa Entertainment.
