An amnesiac discovers she’s been fraternizing with a notorious Mexican drug cartel and working as an informant for the DEA. Now she must continue to play both parts while unraveling the dangerous details of her forgotten past.
I’ve been using Coverfly to submit to new screenwriting contests and fellowships. It’ll be a while before I hear back from all of them (two won’t notify next-rounders until January 2023!) but my feedback for the Diverse Voices program was so strong, it’s been included in my ranking — even though quarterfinalists won’t be notified until June 1st.
I’m expecting updates from two more contests this month, so hopefully I’ll have some more good news to share soon.
