- Dena Dizdar Plumer is the one to watch!
Dena’s writing and her choices are intense and intentional! Love that she has such an honest and professional approach to career pivoting and living life boldly! I was the intimacy coordinator on Vampires Always Knock Twice. An elegant story with top notch crew, and beautiful cast and costumes. Can’t wait to see the rest of it!
