Jacky Watson

Originally from Alaska, Jacky Watson is an LA-based writer with a rich Peruvian-Ukrainian heritage and queer identity. As Writer’s Assistant on "LEVERAGE: REDEMPTION", Jacky wrote an episode with the show’s co-creator and produced it on location. Jacky’s pilot “RE-LIFE” featured on the 2024 Latine List and their feature “PERUANITOS” was selected for the 2025 Development Workshop run by Stowe Story Labs and Galway Film Fleadh. Currently, Jacky is a Writing Fellow for Film Independent’s Project Involve 2026. A sci-fi/horror nerd equipped with a few survival skills, Jacky writes inventive, authentic stories about complex people. If Jacky could have any wish granted, it would be to go back to the ‘90s and write for X-Files.
