Writing my Great-great Uncle's story of becoming a Saint.

Hello fab community of Creatives! It's my first foray in to writing. I'm a long time commercial and reality show producer and love the insights and support from this community. All my life I've heard the stories of my great uncle, Blessed Grimoaldo Santamaria of the Purification and have been researching and creating a docuseries on him for years now. As a good little Catholic girl I attended a conference at the Vatican last year on what it takes to make a Modern Saint and visited my relatives in his hometown of Pontecorvo, Italy. Whilst there it struck me as I walked the idyllic streets that this is a movie. So I bought Final Draft and am getting the story down and we shall see what is meant to be. I produce for some incredible directors and connecting the right one to direct this will be the next step. Wonderful to meet you all here and here's to everyone's successes!

Super interesting Susan Agostinelli - I’ve always wondered about what the process is to becoming a saint. Can’t wait to see your documentary!
