José and the Pirate Captain Toledano - Set in the shadows of the Spanish Inquisition, this is the coming-of-age story of José Alfaro, a young refugee who forms a powerful bond with the mysterious Pirate Captain Toledano. It’s also a dynamic pirate adventure on the high seas, with hand-to-hand combat and ship-to-ship action, and the powerful story of a dark time in history when people took different paths to survive.
About Arnon
Arnon is a writer/director and author of character-driven adventures and thrillers, where heroes grapple with the extraordinary, and in doing so, learn important truths about themselves. He is also interim editor-in-chief of a new imprint at comics publisher Source Point Press, where he shepherds multiple book series (including his own) and manages the development of a new Jewish Comics Universe.
Arnon spent most of his childhood between worlds: a Hebrew speaker in America, a private school kid with no money, a suburbanite in a rented apartment. Whenever he’d set foot in one world, his other foot would betray him as different. For that reason, Arnon tells stories that embrace the peculiar, where encounters with the strange reveal who we are.
And those stories are resonating: Arnon’s films have captivated audiences around the globe. His screenplays include a Page finalist and a Launch Pad top-50. And his award-winning graphic novel sold over 5000 copies in its first week.
With fresh screenplays ready to go, new comics to write and a universe to build, Arnon is looking to expand his team, forge new partnerships, and once again elevate difference on the page and the screen.
