What is a Genre Alchemist?
Being a genre alchemist means I am drawn to mix my own styles with established "rules" of genre storytelling. I bring my unique brand of queer Jewish boldness to every script I write.
As a freelance producer for branded content, my genre alchemy makes me highly adaptable to a diverse variety of audiences, maximizing engagement and achieving campaign objectives in style.
