“Your materials are so creative. So gorgeous and fun! We love how your story really finds a fresh, nuanced angle to explore what it means to be a white Latina.” - excerpt from my rejection letter by the dream team of Gina Rodriguez and Molly Breeskin at I Can and I Will Productions
This is a laugh-out-loud funny, heart-filled and unique script that casts a whole new lens on the making-it-in-Hollywood story and does it with fresh, funny writing and a premise that adds a fantastic twist- a twenty-something actress who has one year to get famous in order to get special skills Visa she needs to stay in the US. It’s a premise that sparks with life and the writing in this wonderful script lives up to it and more”. - my favorite anonymous critic from The Blacklist, he gave me an 8. thank you sir.
