Justine Wentzell-Chang is a lot of things, but also a writer and producer. In 2019, she was selected to participate in the PGA’s Power of Diversity Workshop with her pilot, Identity Crisis of a Banana, a half-hour kids’ comedy inspired by her own multicultural identity confusion. 

With her global & multilingual background, she possibly should’ve been an international spy; but instead, uses her creative and strategic storytelling strengths, to write, develop scripts for others, and produce. 

Her versatile background has led her down an unorthodox career path—from obtaining her Juris Doctorate to working in country music, acquiring and producing independent films for worldwide distribution, publishing her first book, Pocket Full of Dreams, and even writing songs for movies.  To this day, she maintains her license to practice law in the state of Tennessee, even though she’s much happier living her childhood dreams of writing and living in Los Angeles where she grew up. 

Her multicultural family and upbringing inspire her writing and incessant exploration of cultural identity. It is her mission to build bridges through storytelling and be part of the cultural shifts that elevate the voices and issues of historically marginalized groups.
