Jeff Joseph Katz is a white queer writer, maker, and film worker based in Philadelphia, PA. He works by any medium necessary to discover the secret passages between thinking and feeling.


He loves:
    
    — sincerity
    — vulnerability
    — community
    — complexity
    — density
    — comedy
    — craft
    — surprise
    — other worlds
    — this world
    — Philadelphia
    — you


He’d love to collaborate, 
or simply chat. 
He means it. 
I mean it.
