jon levenson

Levenson was a career actor in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles for many years. He was part of the original Broadway cast of Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart. When the Navy took his brother-in-law overseas, Levenson came home to do some hardcore uncle-ing. It was during this time he fell for writing.

Levenson’s first short film, Someone Will Assist You Shortly, premiered at the Montclair Film Festival in October 2021. The film was lauded at several festivals throughout 2022 and closed its run by winning Best Short Narrative Film at the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival. Levenson recently served as Co-Director of Programming for the Cambria Film Festival.

Jon received his first M.F.A. from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and his second in Screenwriting at University of California, Riverside. Levenson is a proud SAG-AFTRA member.

He currently lives on the Central Coast of California with his smarty-pants husband and their spoiled moosh of a mutt.
