Right now, I’m particularly interested in emotionally rich, character-driven stories across TV and film. In television, I’m drawn to dramas, dramedies, and edgy comedies that explore complex relationships, family dynamics, and outsider perspectives. I’m also excited by female- and Latinx-led narratives, both in half-hour and one-hour formats, for cable and streaming platforms.
In features and shorts, I’m interested in story-driven projects that balance humor and heart with edge, including intimate dramas, dark comedies, and high-concept stories with strong character arcs. I enjoy working with emerging writers and creators with bold, authentic voices and writers who are excited to push genre boundaries while keeping emotional stakes front and center.
I’m not the right fit for hard sci-fi that isn’t rooted in character, fantasy projects that rely primarily on world-building over emotional stakes, or narratives that hinge solely on mythology or dense lore. I’m also not looking for broad stoner comedies or stories driven mostly by plot mechanics rather than human complexity.
I am open to supernatural/paranormal and action projects—as long as the characters and their emotional journeys are front and center.
