Biography

A writer, filmmaker, and strategist with 15+ years across film, television, and digital media in the U.S. and Mexico. Lone Star Emmy® winner; developed for Sony Pictures Television; produced for NPR; PhD in Arts, Technology & Emerging Communication.

Jacob Wurzer and Alex Garcia Topete founded Nowadays Orange in 2011 with a simple conviction: the right story, told well, can make the world better.

What began as a media production company grew as partners Elizabeth Ann Stewart and Ross Stewart joined and the work expanded — into award-winning documentaries and series, a data and strategy consulting practice, and a Labs division building digital products.
