Hi classmates! It's been a month together and I feel I have no idea in what's everyone is working on, or even where you are from. I'm very curious. If you are okay with it, please share your logline and location. Here is mine:
The Aftertaste: After being selected for a competitive internship at a mysterious Vineyard in the US, a young woman from Venezuela dreaming of becoming a sommelier finds her selection had nothing to do with her education. - Atlanta, GA

Here is my logline Mariannjely Marval
La Bruja: While on a forced family road trip, a self-absorbed, workaholic Latinx mother offends an old woman in a remote Texas border town causing the mother’s 4-year-old son to be cursed into a coma. The mother must re-engage with the cultural mysticism she rejected in her youth by learning the magical wisdom of her curandera lineage, so she can battle dark spiritual forces and rescue her son. Based on the Mexican curandera tradition and the local lore of The Donkey Lady, this slow-burn story of a Latinx heroine learning to re-embrace her culture to save her son will eventually develop into a new kind of heroine.
Latinx protagonist!! I love this. Would love to know more about this cultural mysticism.

Hey! Here's my logline:
The Cats is a gothic horror, magical realism, limited series. Inspired by the mysterious magic of Bolivian Amazonian folk tales.
It follows VALDEMAR, an alcoholic writer who has been chosen by Death to narrate horrifying and magical events during the “Hemorrhagic Fever” epidemic. It was produced by an unknown virus, wreaking havoc on the entire lives of San Joaquin, a small Bolivian rural town, between 1959 and 1963.

Everyone in here has such interesting ideas. I hope we all continue to hold one another accountable and even meet periodically to check in.
