Alex is a half-Filipino writer and filmmaker born and raised in the cradle of modern civilization: suburban New Jersey. For much of his adult life, Alex has had the sneaking suspicion that he peaked at 12, when he hit home runs in consecutive Little League games. His dream of playing for the New York Knicks was tragically cut short when he failed to make the basketball team in high school. Faced with an uncertain future, he started writing, and majored in English at Saint Peter’s College in Jersey City, NJ. His scripts have been featured on The Black List, placed as a Finalist at Austin Film Festival and won the PAGE International Screenwriting Awards. When not writing, Alex can be found coaching his daughter’s youth basketball teams with the zeal of someone who never realized their own athletic dreams.

Jasmine Wattar is a Syrian American writer/actor from a small farming town, where she grew up with a pet turkey, SweetPete. Spoiler: he wasn't sweet and often attacked her. Jasmine’s brother became a physics professor, and she chose the equally noble path… to work odd jobs — in a zoo, photo booth operator, timeshares, and traveling photographer — before landing in TV writing. Jasmine was selected for the 25' Warner Bros. Discovery Access Writers Program, studied comedy writing under the mentorship of Ben Falcone (Thunder Force), trained with Jason Alexander (Seinfeld), and produced films like Things That Haunt Us (Amazon Prime). A passionate advocate for diversity/disability representation, Jasmine received the SNL Award, NBCUniversal Groundlings Writing Scholarship, and her feature script Luchador was an Inevitable Foundation Accelerate Fellowship semi-finalist. As a queer, mixed-race gal with Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease, her work explores resilience — reflecting beauty, messiness, and hope. Jasmine’s hidden talent: solving escape rooms and puzzles (often winning cash prizes). She’s sneaky, full of grit, and will win Clue.

He has written episodes for Blumhouse's 12 Deadly Days and worked on numerous other shows and pilots, including DIG for USA and Heroes Reborn for NBC. Additionally, he has produced and written narrative podcasts for Campside Media and PocketFM. A graduate of Vassar College, he is also a 500 RYT yoga teacher and gluten-free, because it was his understanding that these were necessary to succeed in LA.
