As a writer, my bread and butter is Drama, Sci-Fi, and Mystery. Having worked in rooms with these genres I feel I can provide greater insight on what it takes to bring these stories to life and the types of notes networks give. As well as how we have broken pilot episodes in the room in order to lay the groundwork for the rest of the series.
Jessica Buentello is a Mexican-American Staff Writer on Netflix’s THE MADONNAS OF ECHO PARK. From a small border town called Mission, Texas, she was raised as an only child by a single mother and grandmother. Her reverence for the way Film and Television brought together her bilingual home led her to get a film degree from The University of Texas at Austin, and study filmmaking in Wellington, New Zealand. Previously, she was the Script Coordinator for The CW’s ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO, Apple TV+’s NAHUAL and DEAR EDWARD. When she isn’t writing or taking care of her two massive dogs, she is still recovering from running the 2024 LA Marathon.
