TV Lit Agent @ Verve. Los Angeles via the 3-1-2. DePaul & Notre Dame alum. Changing the game one submission and call at a time! (Views/opinions are my own)
@AaronSerna@moryan Exactly! Who can say no to mom! It’ll be the pitch version of “not putting baby in a corner”.
And she might bring pan or a gansito or some gelatina.
@AaronSerna@moryan Is the strategy to go pitch with our moms or abuelas?! Forget a pitch deck, let me bust out my mom to tell you how it really was growing up in the 80s!
@AaronSerna@moryan Uhm do they not realize Latin@s are predominantly Catholic (well if you were born pre-Spotlight) and if you kissed someone, let alone looked at someone with lust, your parents would say you were going to hell or something!?
Pay the writers. Save yourself 8 weeks of headaches, car honking, and creative signs.
That is all. For now.
But be ready for the pachangea on Monday & Tuesday
@iamfrancabrera But also maybe they might be receptive or open to it. Maybe not all of the shows, but some/most. Now if they don’t wanna watch the shows you worked on then 🚮
BIG news: Warner Bros. is shutting down its Writers/Directors Workshop and Stage 13 unit. Both are major paths for underrepresented voices in television. Big setback for Hollywood's diversity movement.
Holy Smokes!! Say it ain’t so Joe!? This is nuts.
1 thing to consider & look beyond lack of Showrunners is how many writers fill #2 spot to help bring authenticity. Also shows created by someone Latin@ but Showrunner is not.
The leads tho. 😤 I’ll offline about that!
In today’s daily way of how else Latin@s are overlooked and overtly stereotyped in media….
Very shameful. We’re more than tamales and tacos.

Did anyone know MO dropped this past weekend?! Didn’t see a damn billboard or commercial for it. And it’s so good!
Marketing team needs to step up for these amazing BIPOC/diverse led shows!!
News & decisions like these sometimes make me feel like we’re in a 2 steps forward, 2 steps back type of dance.
Gotta keep fighting for inclusivity to be achieved on & off the screen + with decision makers. It’s what motivated some of us to join this crazy biz! La Lucha Sigue!
