Last year my short, THESE COLORS DON'T RUN (shot on film!) screened at AFF - and now it's available on Hulu and HBO - quite a testament to the "anything CAN happen" world of filmmaking.
I'm an alumna of Sundance's Latino Screenwriting Project - a writing lab for Latinx screenwriters, and won the Virginia Screenwriting Competition a few years ago for my feature script, THE RADISH BABY. I'm currently working with two amazing producers to get it made.
