I am Gisele, a Guatemalan screenwriter. I started writing scripts as a hobby many years ago and more seriously since 2016. Finding industry professionals willing to read my work in Guatemala has been challenging. Tired of waiting, I recently shot a four-minute short film that reflects the same themes, tone, and essence of the rest of the scripts I have written. I can’t wait to learn more about filmmaking from you guys.

Welcome to the community, Gisele Orellana. I just watched the "Tontatiempo" trailer. Your short film looks interesting. You could post your trailer in the Video/Audio section of your Stage 32 profile so other members can see it.

Thank you, Pat.
It's a four-minute short about a habitually tardy mom who fabricates an excuse to avoid paying a late pickup fee at her daughter's daycare. You can see the trailer here: https://youtu.be/xAwwg_C7ut8
