Available to hire
Hi, I’m Phil Blechman—a writer, editor, and producer who thrives at the intersection of storytelling, performance, and digital media. I craft clear, engaging narratives across stage, screen, and online platforms, from branded content to long-form narration.
Over the years, I’ve collaborated with BarBend, Audible, WWE, The Araca Group, and Eternal Durdles, helping teams turn ideas into compelling content. I’ve worked on Broadway, Off-Broadway, and regional theatres. I enjoy building creative pipelines, shaping voices, and bringing characters and worlds to life for audiences worldwide.
