About ARLONA

My name is Arlona and I am a writer/ producer. I am originally from Brooklyn, New York, but have not been originally from Brooklyn and the City for a very long time. I am the daughter and granddaughter of immigrants/ refugees. Both my parents had a love for movies and Tv shows. In fact, both worked behind the scenes and I was taken along for the ride. Because I tagged along with my mom and because she took me to set, I ended up emersing myself in this magical world of make believe. As a teen I was a sponge and I was curious, and absorbed everything that I was experiencing as an observer on set. This would lay the foundation for my career in the entertainment business.

Right after I graduate from college, Hunter College, like for real when I say right after, I mean, I graduated from college on a Monday and Wednesday was booked on an Amtrak train and journeyed across the United States to Los Angeles, California to get my brand new start in life and career in Hollywood.

Since I knew no one, and all the contacts that I had weren’t panning out, on the advice from new peers who were in the same boat as I. I applied for a job at talent and lit agency and that began my career in artist representation and learning about the business in a new way that I had not experienced before but needed. I spent about eight-ish years working my way up, until I realised that I wasn’t where I wanted to be career-wise or creatively. That is when I partnered up with a friend and started to write, scripts for TV and features. There were many, many bumps and detours along the way, mainly being able to pay rent, bills and eat.

After juggling many different jobs in order to keep writing I finally found my footing with work in docu-series and reality tv production.

And now, with my writing samples in hand, I am ready to connect with others to get these projects made.
