Hi good people. It's wonderful to be here. I am a singer-songwriter. I've written poetry and a children's book and now a screenplay. I hope to meet like-minded individuals. My screenplay is an animation, and I am passionate about the story. That certainly helps in this challenging arena. I hope to meet all of you. Thank you.

My stories are mostly heartfelt, deep, universal, yet they´re mostly written in spanish. I´ll be my pleasure to contribute with producers, directors and other writers to create credible, human, worthwhile movies. I can also translate or create proper dialogs for television, animation and videogames.

Expand commentOh my, it's very fantastical, but the feature characters are animals that have crossed the rainbow bridge and have an ability to use a portal to look down on Earth and their humans. It's really very cool. I'm so jacked about it I can't even tell you. I just need to collect about a hundred animal/pet lovers together to contribute a bunch of money, and then I don't have to go through the Hollywood grinding mechanism. I can just do it myself with, God forbid, AI video, but don't tell anybody I said that.
