Dominic Mucciacito
Staff Writer
Dominic Mucciacito, a staff writer, covers film, food, culture, and theater for the Los Angeles Journal. Blending an eye for oddball cinema, retro-futurist style, and with a deep-seated affection for the collected works of Steve Sabol, he weaves contemporary subjects into an anecdotal tapestry of history.
His writing and reported features—which focus primarily on the intersections of myth-making, anthropology, film history and tech innovation—is currently writing a nonfiction book called “Salty Dogs” about the 2004-2005 San Diego Chargers who had a Hall of Fame starting quarterback in Drew Brees, and another Hall of Famer waiting behind him in Philip Rivers. He grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, before moving to San Diego, and now resides in Hollywood, California.
