POSTS STORIES REELS

Thank you @ridebackrise for choosing me as a 2026 Writing Fellow. I’m only three months in, but it’s already changing my life! Grateful for the mentorship, support, and for introducing me to 15 incredibly talented, badass fellows who’ve become friends, supporters, and fellow troublemakers. I’m getting paid to write a screwball action-comedy feature set in Puerto Rico—¡está brutal! 🇵🇷🏝️🌺 by @jorgito_thomson

The first three episodes of Twisted Metal Season 2 are out on @peacock!

Endless thanks to @iammichaeljonathan for giving me my first WGA writing credit. You didn’t just share a script — you shared your wisdom, friendship, and very sick sense of humor. AND for my first professional script, I got to write for a badass bi Latina?!

Also — I got to visit set in Toronto, where I ate Pizza. In season one I 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 Pizza! If that’s not upward mobility, I don’t know what it is! 🍕 🤡 🚘 🔥 by @jorgito_thomson

I had the honor of being the Industry Programs Manager for the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival (@laliff_ ) this year. During a challenging time for Latinos in this country, we came together to celebrate our filmmaking. LALIFF also gave me the chance to produce their first-ever comedy show, bringing together improvisers and stand-ups performing in English, Spanish, and everywhere in between. Working for this festival was more than a job. It was an act of resistance. 🔥🇨🇺🇲🇽🇵🇷🔥 by @jorgito_thomson

My 2nd @laliff_ is officially in the books!

Five incredible days of producing panels, masterclasses, brunches, cocktails, cafecitos, happy hours… and my proudest achievement: producing an all-JEFA comedy show. A huge thank you to everyone at the @latinofilminstitute_ , and to mi JEFA, @Diana, who not only keeps me laughing but also makes working for this festival so incredibly special.

Hasta la próxima, LALIFF. 🔥 🔥 🔥 by @jorgito_thomson

August: Mostly in PR 🇵🇷 by @jorgito_thomson

A year ago, I was placed on a team of comedy superstars. Every moment was out of this world, every show a total blast-off. I am incredibly honored, grateful, and tickled to have performed with all of you. 🚀✨🌍 Finally sharing some photos from our final Lloyd Show. (📸: @sonyakatarina) by @jorgito_thomson

Overdue 32 birthday (and 30 birthday) post, mostly on disposable camera. Hot tip, don’t wait to develop and use flash. by @jorgito_thomson

WIZARDS BEYOND WAVERLY PLACE is out! Many thanks to @instajedstagram and @scottthomascaresaboutyou for taking a chance on me and giving me MY FIRST STAFF WRITER JOB! I am honored to carry out your heartwarming, hilarious, and magical vision and be part of such an unbelievably talented writing staff. We’ve dropped the first batch of 9 episodes on Disney+, and episode 9, “Wiz-Taken Identity”, was written by yours truly. My episode is a total farce and has pickleball. What more could I ask for! @disneyplus by @jorgito_thomson
