About
KestlynBlassengale
I grew up on a dirt road in the upstate of South Carolina — the kind that winds and bumps for thirty minutes before you get anywhere. On those drives home, my mother told us ghost stories. Ones she'd been told. Ones she made up. The line between them was never clear, and that's exactly the point.
All Dirt Roads is named for that land — familial land with deep roots, the kind of place that shapes you without asking permission. I hold an MFA in Screenwriting from UNC School of the Arts, and I am a screenwriter first. Everything I write reaches back toward that red dirt, that oral tradition, those Black Southern ghost stories passed down through generations that deserve to live on screen.
My work centers on Black and Brown community narratives — stories of memory, resilience, and the quiet weight of inheritance. I also work as a creative director, intimacy coordinator, and producer, because good stories need more than a good script. They need people who care about every layer of how they're told.
