Runner-Up, The Coletta Preacely-Garcia Diversity Fellowship 2024
BIO
EM IVANOV is an aspiring screenwriter and director from Cincinnati with a passion for history, animation, and the supernatural, and spending writing sessions oscillating between staring at a blank page and mindlessly looking out the window. They have a passion for children’s television, and hope to create stories that teach kids to value diversity within every spectrum of identity while also secretly brainwashing them into being musical theatre nuts. When not writing, Em is often found wrangling dinosaurs at their local museum, succumbing to the insatiable appetites of their two manipulatively adorable cats, and thinking of new and clever ways to procrastinate. Ad astra per aspera!
