Here Comes Spring 2021

April has arrived and with it the hopeful and promising Spring. Things are slowly starting to come back to life in the city. Work is starting again (not as much as before 2020) but it is coming back. Teaching residencies have returned and it's been an adjustment. I'm happy that I got my feet wet with the world of Zoom teaching with workshops taught with the LAByrinth Intensive Ensemble and the Writers Guild Initiative. But it's still a tough adjustment. I have been revisiting some old scripts, screenplays that I had put away for one reason or another. One in particular titled, "Los Hermanos Dela Cruz" which was based on a play of mine which was inspired by an old classic Italian film from 1960 titled, "Rocco and His Brothers" which was written nd directed by the great Italian filmmaker Luchino Visconti. It was a wonderful re-introduction to a script that I was very proud of which was co-written with a fellow LAByrinth Theater Company member, Mary Perez. It's an interesting process to re-introduce yourself to material that you wrote almost ten years before and hearing the words of the writer that you once were as oppose to the writer that you are now.  I felt the difference in me as a writer, the life and creative experience that I have gained from then to now was quite evident and it help with the revising of the draft. I'm very proud of this work and very excited to present it.
