Intro

I’m in pursuit of a crazy dream that’s become my obsession. My dream is to see one of my scripts in a movie production. Whether or not I’ll reach this goal is unknown. But, I love the writing process so much that the journey is enough. Currently, I’m focused on writing sketch comedies and stand-up material. I am, also, interested in collaborating with other creative minds. If you would like to connect with me, see my contact info below.

About Me

I never thought of becoming a writer but I always loved the are of storytelling— in any length and medium. When I was young, no one told stories like my uncles. Their stories about their crazy nights out were always funny and unbelievable. I developed my humor from them. And once I realized I could use funny stories to make the girls in school laugh, I began to take it seriously. I would practice my jokes by developing the characters and working on the delivery. My first glimpse of good storytelling came through the novels I read in school. But, I didn’t have the experience, maturity, or patience to appreciate the masterful storytelling and writing of acclaimed authors.

The stories I could appreciate in all stages of my life came in the form of movies. Movies did for me what my lazy imagination could not do with books back then— bring them to life. And when I saw my first movie, I knew that I wanted to be involved in its making in any way. I always thought I had the imagination to write a screenplay, I just had to work on organizing my thoughts. So, I have embarked on the long journey of improving my writing. However, I have learned a few things in the early stages of my screenwriting: character development is easy if you make your characters feel real emotions, and writing dialogue is easy if you give your characters perspective.

Many consider themselves people watchers, I’m a people writer. I am a firm believer that people visibly wear their stories. You can learn a lot from someone by their clothing, facial expressions, body language, and even some eavesdropping. Once I get an impression of someone, my imagination runs wild. I begin to postulate what circumstances has brought them to this point in their life. I don’t care for accuracy in my presumptions, just plausibility. I also draw inspiration from family members with first-hand accounts of a topic I’m researching. Then I use books and articles to supplement any information I get from relatives.

I write stories because I believe they are the connective tissue that brings us people together and keeps us together. And there is nothing more valuable in life than the things that bring us together. The purpose of my writing is to invoke the emotions that make us human. The purpose of my scripts is to start conversations that you normally wouldn’t have or would try to avoid. There might be a lot of common elements in my writing but I hope there aren’t many common themes. I hope that every script I write tackles a different issue.

I was born and raised in Chicago. I don’t know why I always start with that to describe myself but it should give you a lot of information about us: style is our currency; everyone knows about a good restaurant; fun is our religion; Jordan is our God. My style of writing is like my city. I think of us Chicagoans as plain-spoken people that shoot it straight. I don’t like using metaphors when something needs to be served cold, especially the truth. I’m Mexican-American, so in my writing, expect frequent references to my culture. I’m unapologetic about my heritage because I’m in love with every aspect of it: food, music, customs, and, of course, the women. How could I not be in love with Mexican women when my mother, grandmother, and sisters are the strongest and most beautiful people I’ll ever meet. Therefore, I will often write about women as superheroes and/or celestial beings.
