Louisa Levy on Bringing Off Campus to Screen and Writing Healthy Romance | Women in Entertainment Podcast

Off Campus is more than a hockey romance; it’s a character-driven story about trust, healing, chemistry, and the kind of love that lets people become more fully themselves.In this episode of the Women in Entertainment Podcast, Louisa opens up about bringing Elle Kennedy’s beloved Off Campus world to the screen and the responsibility of adapting a fan-favorite series with care. She shares why chemistry reads were essential to building the cast’s electric dynamic, how the writers’ room approached Hannah and Garrett’s emotional arcs, and why the show was designed to feel both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.Louisa also reflects on writing sex positivity, consent, and non-toxic masculinity into a genre that has not always made space for those conversations. From Hannah’s independent drive to Allie’s “too much” energy, she explains how each character’s deepest fears shaped the ensemble and teases that season two will keep Hannah and Garrett woven into the fabric of the show.Listen to learn:- How Off Campus balances romance, trauma, joy, and emotional safety- Why chemistry reads shaped the show’s standout cast- How the writers approached consent and sex positivity on screen- What makes hockey romance resonate right now- What Louisa can reveal about season twoThe Women in Entertainment Podcast presents thoughtful conversations with leaders across entertainment from film and television, to media and gaming, and everything in between; as we talk about what it takes to make your mark in the industry, lessons these incredible people have learned along the way, and how they have found their way in an ever-changing environment.With in-depth conversations and pre-submitted listener questions, each episode provides candid advice for navigating today’s entertainment industry, giving listeners an inside look at how key players got their start, and guidance for building the necessary toolkit to bring careers to life in film, TV, music, theater, graphics, writing, animation, and beyond.Listen on Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/5AfPfPQ...Listen on Apple Podcasts: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast..Listen on Audible: ⁠https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/a85..#OffCampus #ElleKennedy #WomenInEntertainment #HockeyRomance #BookToScreen #RomanceTV #FemaleStorytelling #Showrunner #HannahAndGarrett #PrimeVideo
