Right now, I'm particularly interested in bold, character-driven stories that mix thriller, supernatural, and drama elements, especially if they involve complex family dynamics or untangle hidden secrets. I’m drawn to one-hour TV dramas that push the boundaries of conventional storytelling—think of the sharp tension and unraveling mysteries in shows like TRUE DETECTIVE or BIG LITTLE LIES, but with a cultural edge that highlights Latinx or immigrant perspectives.
I also love half-hour dramedies that dive into identity and community with humor and heart. Stories like SUPERSTORE or RAMY—shows that don’t shy away from real-life messiness and have a distinct cultural POV—are right up my alley. I'm especially interested in creating and uplifting stories that reflect the voice of bicultural, bilingual characters navigating intersecting worlds, with moments that feel both real and elevated.
