Isa Dick Hackett (born; Isolde Freya Dick; March 15, 1967) is an American producer and writer for Amazon who helped produce The Man in the High Castle, Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams, and The Adjustment Bureau,[1][2] all of which are based on works by her father, Philip K. Dick.

Biography[]

Isa Dick Hackett was born Isolde Freya Dick in Greenbrae, California, to mother Nancy Hackett and father Philip K. Dick, the famous American science fiction writer.[3] Hackett has helped write or produce several film adaptations of her father's works.[2] Hackett oversees Electric Shepherd Productions with her siblings.[4]

In the aftermath of revelations about sexual misconduct by Harvey Weinstein and the #MeToo movement in 2017, Hackett told The Hollywood Reporter that Roy Price, the programming chief at Amazon, had sexually harassed her at the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con.[5] Hackett stated that Price aggressively asked her for sex in a taxi, which was the first time they had met, repeatedly telling her "You will love my dick" even though she assertively told him she was not interested, was a lesbian, and had a wife and children. Michael Paull, a top executive at Amazon, was in the taxi with them at the time. Later that night, Price yelled "Anal sex!" into Hackett's ear while she was in a conversation with other Amazon executives.[1][6] Price was fired after an internal investigation by Amazon.[7]
