Hello people of Stage 32!
My name is Pepe Amato, I am a screenwriter, writer and translator. Although I am from Argentina, I have been living in Mexico City for 6 years now, I write mainly in Spanish although I can also do it in English. I am the author of "If I fell in love again" (Si Me Volviera a Enamorar), a dramatic series about three gay friends who experience love through marriage, singleness and widowhood, and which can be seen on the CONT.AR platform in Argentina. In Mexico I have been content director of “Enamorándonos” for TV Azteca ten months between 2018 and 1019.
For the last two years I have been creating unscripted entertainment content (talent shows, game shows, reality shows and factuals) independently, targeting major production companies. I have more than a dozen unscripted entertainment projects available. I also write fiction, right now I'm writing a project of 8 episodes dramatic serie for OTT's. In short, I am versatile and solid in terms of genres and formats.
Although I have been a screenwriter for more than 22 years, my career has been somewhat discontinuous and varied, although I have some published 2 own books and some translations for third parties that are available on Amazon, I also have some personal translations from english to spanish that are related to the film industry. For more than 10 years I have been translating different books, but also because there are very few sources in Spanish on the knowledge of humor, comedy and narrative in the film industry.
I can also develop from scratch, scripted and unscripted contents in any format. I hope to be able to find a destination for my entertainment projects as well as for the series that I have finished writing to present in a pitch, either in English or in Spanish.
From now on I thank those who read my long presentation, and can consider me so that my projects can reach large audiences, especially for Latin and US Hispanic. I would also like to meet people related to television industry.
Greetings to all!!!

What an incredible career you've had! Have you looked at the pitch sessions and career consultations? There are a few execs that focus on international and Latinx stories that you could connect with. I can't wait to see the scripted stories your create!

Thank you for your words Geoff!
Currently I am still writing a series of 8 chapters, it is a family drama around a thriller, I am a bit messy in terms of notes but I am already a little over 100 pages. At the same time I'm a bit dissipated because I'm also looking for new pitches.
I hope that here I can achieve some pitches and shape a virtuous value chain in terms of my small entertainment catalog...
Cheers!!!
