The Long Version

Jared Chiang-Zeizel is a creative producer, writer, and photgrapher — pushing around words, framing shots, and shaping narratives across mediums.

From 2022 to 2024, Jared served as a Creative Producer at ABL Space Systems, where he led media operations—directing photography, video, branding, and messaging to capture a period of exploration and refinement at ABL. He played a key role in developing compelling narratives that highlighted ABL's technological advancements, overseeing projects from concept to execution to support launches, investor relations, and brand growth. Prior to aerospace, he worked in entertainment, completing writing and editing projects for Sony Pictures, Disney, Lucasfilm, Netflix, Discovery Channel, and more.

As a writer, Jared focuses on pop-sci non-fiction and immersive storytelling, penning books, screenplays, and ad copy. His book A Field Guide to Lucid Dreaming (Workman Publishing, 2013) became an indie bestseller, now available in 11 languages worldwide.

Jared occasionally steps out from behind the screen to give talks on Asian and Jewish representation, mixed identity, and lucid dreaming. His work have been featured in GQ Portugal, Elle Magazine, Vice, NBC, and on national TV and radio. He is an ADL Collaborative for Change fellow and a recipient of the David Chase Screenwriting Scholarship.

When not engaged in professional projects, Jared enjoys taking artsy photos, over-analyzing Disney songs, and baking pies. He lives in Los Angeles but maintains an ongoing affair with New York City.
