Overview
"That's Amor/e and Pretty Grotesque are two pilots steeped in immigrant culture as it operates within the U.S., particularly Latine culture. The pilots – all my scripts –also explore the significance of memory and how our past traumas and resulting perspectives play out in the present. The pilot of That's Amor/e shows a promising beginning for two young immigrants – Cuban and Italian – who meet at a low point in their lives, but find inspiration in each other to start a new lease on life. Potentially together. Pretty Grotesque, on the other hand, is a first-generation American, Gen-Z take on the Gothic, set during a chapter when young adults feel like they have all the freedom, yet no control – college. Whether it's homesickness, experimentation with drugs and alcohol, messy emotions, or any combination of the three, the college years have the potential to make monsters of us all, whether we mean them to or not." -- Abstract
