Cursed to spend too much of his time, money, and emotional energy on comic books ever since he was handed a Quick Draw McGraw comic on a road trip as a kid, Asher B. Guthertz studies Film and Digital Media at UC Santa Cruz. He likes to write in any and all genres, and hope to participate in the breaking down of boundaries between critical and creative writing. He loves rom-coms, confessional poetry, and television shows about groups of friends who are so close they're practically family. He also writes for UC Santa Cruz's Eyecandy Film Journal.
