Hi, I'm Demian.
I’m a writer and creative director based in Oakland, California.
I write constantly. Fiction. Screenplays. Ads. And countless lists painstakingly organized in a labyrinth of Google Docs.
I wrote this for McSweeney’s: “Wetzel’s Pretzels, You Will Not Be Spared from our Millennial Bloodlust”.
I wrote these for a 48-hour screenplay competition: NYC Midnight Short Screenplay Challenge Winner 2017
And I wrote all this on my desk while losing my mind in grad school 👇🏽.
