Our Story

Giovana Frediani & Janette Danielson:

Imagine this: you wake up on a couch, not sure how you got there. All you remember is drinking a lot of wine and laughing at the questionable stories of Janette and Giovana, who egg you on to do something that you’ll definitely regret, but will soon be your epic go-to party story. 

Hi, we’re Giovana and Janette. We met our freshmen year of college, despite growing up a mere 10 miles away from each other in the Bay Area. Over the course of four years, an internship at a major production company and many existential crises, our friendship was solidified. Living together post- graduation, Giovana told Janette about a script she was working on, and asked if Janette could help her write it. Cut to six years later, we are establishing ourselves not only as screenwriters, but filmmakers as well in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles.

Under the banner of Fred & Dan Productions, we have completed four feature scripts and an original pilot. Our goal with Fred & Dan is to tell the stories of young women making their way in the world that we feel we didn’t necessarily have or see growing up. We not only want to put our voices out there but we want to help shape the new narratives coming forward and drive it in a direction that is more inclusive and understanding of all stories.
