Screenwriting : Bandages makes ashes of us : The blood of silence by Tania Ocasio

July filmmakers club challenge final week last part of the challenge

Good afternoon Filmakers Club I’m posting my last part of the challenge my take- away from what I have learned from the pitching process. When I submitted my first pitch I was feeling nervous, as I’m still waiting on my feedback I realized I made a lot of mistakes on my first pitch with that knowledge I went back signed up for the two page pitch webinar and I learned a lot about my first pitch.

I feel like mine screenplay title is too long. I submitted everything in caps., and I didn’t do the standard format, after my logline I added season arcs 1-4 and also added a sample scene.and after printing it and reading it I saw a few typos. So I definitely know what I myself did wrong on my first pitch. So my advice to all screenwriters please double check your pages before you submit. Once I read it and saw my own mistakes. I posted my logline on my page and if you can take a look is exactly as I submitted with errors and everything as an example of what not to do and like I said I’m still waiting on my feedback .Title: Bandages

Series format: Limited anthology

Tone: Violent/ Redemptive

Genre: Psychological Coming of age

Think Maid meets Unbelievable with a haunted tension of Sharp Objects

Logline:

When her childhood abuser re- enters her life as a client at her trauma center a resilient Latina counselor must lead others, as buried truths emerges- forcing and entire community to confront what silence has cost them. She must decide whether to keep fighting or give up.

In this series charts with a woman decent from abuse to a force to be reckoned with as she fights back after an accident leaves one of her children in a comma . As this haven becomes a sanctuary and a battleground, as unspoken traumas surface and demand justice, accountability. The question is whether healing is possible or whether silence should be forgiven.

Bio: I’m a Latina writer, Puerto Rican descent I wanted to bring stories to live about bold, fierce women about power, survival and the inner fire of woman society overlooks. Bold stories rooted in Latina culture.
