Hi.

I'm Jesse Alexander, a writer and producer of sci-fi, fantasy, and adventure—stories filled with thrilling action, mystery, and compelling drama. Most of them are TV shows.

My first gigs were in video games. I wrote Apocalypse, starring a digitized Bruce Willis. And a futuristic sports title called Hyperblade. I even made a few bucks scribbling a story for a Steven Seagal side-scroller.

My first job in mo-pic features was a teaser for an action flick called Barb Wire. Then, I started building momentum by selling pitches and taking assignments. One flick even got made — Eight Legged Freaks!

But soon, I discovered that TV was the place for a writer to have apex power in Hollywood. (Ah, the good old days of that ad-supported pre-streaming model.)

So that's been my focus for the last twenty years: Alias, Lost, Heroes, Hannibal, Star Trek: Discovery, American Gods, and others. I worked on a show called Citadel for Amazon and the Russo Brothers that dropped in April 2023. In Q1 22, I wrote an animated pilot with an Oscar-winning director and Netflix.

On many shows, I designed cross-media story content to extend the narrative across digital platforms, helping define that genre, winning awards and media impressions while expanding the IP and discovering new revenue streams.

I've always kept a foot in the video game arena through narrative design consulting on Far Cry 3 at Ubisoft, a project at Lucas Arts, and, more recently, a Predator VR game. This keeps my creative skills frosty and exposes me to new technologies (like AI) and the latest methods of effective team management.

I adapted the Scrum software development method to enhance Heroes's serialized writing process at NBC.

I'm always looking for a new challenge. I've been consulting at Riot Games on League of Legends and Valorant for the last few years. During the COVID lockdown, I wrote animated game trailers for Blur.

Maybe the wildest example of my cross-media explorations was designing a backstory and narrative arc to support a global advertising campaign for a popular confection brand.

Who knew a childhood spent dumping quarters into arcade machines, playing D&D, and making Super 8 movies after school with my buddies would give me the skills for a thirty-plus year career?
