Over the years, I've written for various formats and genres, including screenwriting, a bit of TV (as a VFS student), poetry, journalism, and sketch comedy. Comedy is my safe zone, but I also love drama, crime, sci-fi, or horror—whatever best serves the story. I'm especially proud of my ability to tackle relevant social issues with complex characters, witty dialogue, and fresh approaches to classic tropes.
Here are some samples of my work:
God accepted an interview for the talk show "Uncancelled". The interviewer inquires them about their absence during major world events. Their "best warriors" (swifties and white man) express their grievances, highlighting the absurdity of prioritizing minor complaints over pressing global issues. God's flippant responses further emphasize the satirical nature of the sketch.
"Perfect Match" satirizes the lengths people go to find love in the modern age. A self-proclaimed "love guru" dispenses increasingly absurd advice, from Taylor Swift fandom to dirty underwear rituals, highlighting the desperation and often misguided methods people employ in their quest for human connection.
Something like Phineas and Ferb meets Demons. On this episode, demon twins Beloo and Zari try to help their shy classmate Will overcome his stage fright by taking him to Hell for a confidence boost. While Beloo steals the audition script, Zari gets distracted by her crush, Veronica. They eventually succeed in helping Will, but their secret is almost exposed by their angelic principal, Mr. Gabe.
This 5-Page extract of the second act shows the moment Beloo sneaks into Mr. Gabe's office, Zari's distraction, and Mr. Gabe's revelation.
"Break a Leg" follows Luis, a passionate film director, who faces a major setback when his lead actor breaks his leg while playing a Karen. Desperate to save his movie, Luis and his assistant Andrea resort to summoning a demon, Asmodeus, to play the role. However, Asmodeus proves to be more demanding than they anticipated, leading to comedic chaos on set.
A tale about revolution and youth, "Little Satan" is the story of Anthony, a young, outcast kid in a Catholic school, who discovers the performatic power of Satanism to defend himself of his bullies, making an entire community question its must radical values. Little Satan approaches two main concepts: Rebellion and Community. The first one is the radical human need (especially in the youth) to fight against any force that hopes to undermine our must natural freedoms. While the second shows a beautiful truth: that this is not a fight of individuals, but communities, and it can only be won that way.
The extract is the Inciting Incident of the film, when Anthony's sister, Amira, first hands him with her own copy of the Satanic Bible, not knowing that what she tought was a tender, old-sister gesture, would turn the town upside down.
"Do Us Part" tells the story of Alfredo and María, a couple whose lifelong love faces the ultimate test as Alfredo's health deteriorates. Alfredo, determined to leave no loose ends, proposes marriage despite their previous commitment to a life free of formalities. María, torn between her principles and her love for Alfredo, ultimately agrees, showcasing the enduring power of love in the face of mortality.
This scene was an exercise for a Dialogue Class at VFS. It presents a poignant exchange between a melancholic patient and his therapist. The seemingly mundane topic of orange juice evolves into a deeper exploration of the patient's emotional state, hinting at a significant connection to a woman he met buying orange juice. It got a few “Awwws” during table reads.
"Tale of a House" follows Esteban, a young writer stuck at home with only his own thoughts for company. As his emotions run wild, he tries to make sense of what's happening before it's too late. Ever felt lost and isolated? This film dives deep into the struggles of depression during the pandemic – it's raw, real, and might hit a little too close to home.
The Mandalorian and Grogu crash-land on Raydonia amidst a New Republic struggle against Imperial remnants who are producing TIE Defenders, a prototype designed by Grand Admiral Thrawn. Mando and Hera Syndulla, seeking to dismantle the operation, infiltrate the factory. They enlist the help of the oppressed workers, led by Old Dassun, to overcome the Imperial forces and destroy the TIE production line, striking a blow against the resurgence of the Empire. A teacher of mine described it like “Mando vs Space Nazis”.
This are the first 10 pages of a Feature Script. Faust, a man living in a dystopian future where people are used as batteries, dreams of a peaceful life with a woman named Cecilia. He wakes up to a harsh reality where he is forced to work in an energy agency, providing energy for the privileged citizens of Eden. Faust's only solace is his dreams, where he can escape his bleak existence and imagine a better life.
In the rest of the script, he'll discover Cecilia is not a product of his mind, but a woman, out of many, who's work is to mantain batteries at bay, preventing any disruption. The story explores themes of hope, despair, and the human need for connection in a world devoid of it.
Story follows Father Bernard, a priest with a talent for avoiding uncomfortable truths, who must confront a malevolent demon during an exorcism of a child. As the demon taunts Bernard with revelations of their shared past and Bernard’s own atrocities, the narrative subtly critiques the broader themes of denial and negligence within institutions that are meant to protect the innocent.
This scene was an assignment for my Crime Genre class at VFS. I had to write a scene that would fit the script of The Godfather. I've always wanted to see more of Mama Corleone, so I decided to write her a scene:
Following Sonny's murder, Mama Corleone confronts Don Corleone, demanding justice. She reminds him of his duty to their community and family, recounting a past act of kindness. Mama Corleone acknowledges Sonny's flaws but emphasizes the personal nature of his killing. She implores the Don to fulfill his role as Godfather and make the perpetrators pay, then bring their remaining son, Michael, home.
