Lynnette Ramirez

President of Bassett Vance Productions on Leadership and Negotiating

Kicking off 2025 with one of my favorite humans in Hollywood, Lynnette Ramirez. A friend and mentor, she is also a powerhouse producer, development executive, and champion of underrepresented voices.

Lynnette graduated from LMU’s Screenwriting Undergrad Program and began at Sean Connery’s Fountainbridge Films, working in development on films Entrapment and Finding Forrester.

In 2002, she launched Vida Films, a film production company that produced two independent features: The Blue Hour starring Alyssa Milano and Two Days starring Paul Rudd and Adam Scott.

In 2007, Lynnette became SVP of development and production for George Lopez Presents: housed at Warner Bros. During her tenure with Lopez, she produced several projects including the Nickelodeon hit original movie Mr. Troop Mom.

She is currently the President of Bassett Vance Productions, where Lynnette isn't just creating content; she's creating opportunities. Lynnette is also a writer, having sold romantic comedy screenplays to Disney and Lionsgate.

From her roots as an independent filmmaker to her current role nurturing women and BIPOC voices, Lynnette is not just breaking barriers, but demolishing them completely!
