Alexandra Otto (BFA ‘19) is from Los Angeles, but she knew it would take more than hustle to break into a screenwriting career. During her senior year at SCA, she participated in LA Quarter, DePaul’s 10-week immersive experience in Hollywood. Alexandra held internships with The Jim Henson Company and The Montecito Picture Company, while taking classes on a studio lot in the evenings. “My boss from The Jim Henson Company got me in the door at Disney, which led to where I am now,” says Otto, who is currently an assistant writer on the Disney Junior show, “Firebuds.”
