ALEKS ARCABASCIO
Writer | Producer
Aleks Arcabascio is an LA-based New Yorker who enjoys sharing stories and laughing at what are hopefully the appropriate parts.
As a writer, producer and former 1st AD, he’s worked on many fun projects including “Pixar In Real Life” streaming on Disney+, “Coloring For Grown-Ups” available at bookstores near you, plus TV shows and shorts for Pop TV, Above Average, UCB Comedy and other sites you can scroll while on the toilet.
He’s done commercial campaigns, music videos, feature films, and loves when they let him eat the prop food at the end. One time he floated an entire office on the East River with Improv Everywhere.
Having worked on film sets and production offices since before attending NYU Tisch (Go Bobcats! …Or were we the Violets?), he has helped and hired just about every crew position there is and holds a deep understanding and appreciation for every player in the collaborative arts. (Except for “cat wranglers.” It’s not really a thing. Are you awake and near a cat? Fill out a W-9! You’re our cat wrangler.)
No stranger to the roles IMDB lovingly refers to as “additional crew,” Aleks spent years PAing before rising through the ranks to pitch, plan, and execute shoots, getting finished stories out to his clients and audiences safely, under budget, and on time.
Though his heart belongs to the world of comedy, he has worked passionately in drama, nonfiction and experiential (like a surprise, but where people smile and don’t run away), much of which you can view here on this site. Between official assignments, he has brought to life many passion projects of his own, including “Artistically Challenged” the critically acclaimed first TV show made for Instagram.
In all sincerity, he is grateful that he gets to do what he loves and thanks you for watching.
A free online quiz said he could live to see 2075, but even if he doesn’t, that’s OK, because he’s worked with Pee-wee Herman & Kermit the Frog, saw Paul McCartney in concert, and has an incredible wife.
