Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
I'm a project coordinator and writer with experience in non-profits, branding, marketing and tech. I’ve worked in victim services and prison reform, I’ve produced four movies and I wrote dialogue for a Marriott-backed iPhone game. I’m also an occasional film critic and I’ve volunteered at three school-based reading and writing nonprofits. Never beat Pokémon, though.
• Handle all administrative duties, from building out donor and client databases to scheduling meetings • Work extensively on fundraising campaigns, from early planning to writing thank you letters • Start Constant Contact newsletter with 34% click rate and revive long-forgotten social media channels • Write, edit and organize materials for press releases and grants • Run bi-weekly payroll for entire company
I have produced four films and will, if things work out, work intensively on a fifth in 2022. My IMDb page doesn’t have a picture which is for real so brave of me, to just give up on the spotlight like that. If we’re connecting about a film project, I request you refer to me as “Hollywood Lex.” https://m.imdb.com/name/nm11795602/?ref_=m_ttfcd_cr15
I write frequent features and reviews for the zine and website MovieJawn, and wrote at sister site Cinema76 before the two merged. I’m currently in a years-long project writing about every Disney Channel Original Movie, in addition to regularly contributing other pieces. I’m also the Assistant Newsletter Coordinator.
