Introduce Yourself : Where are my fellow feminist, anti-racist storytellers? by Megan Rees

Where are my fellow feminist, anti-racist storytellers?

Beautiful Ones,

I'm fairly new to screenwriting though not new to activism or writing. I'm just finally putting it all together.

I have a one-hour pilot in the contest rounds right now, having recently placed as a semifinalist in the Screencraft fellowship:

"When a charged video of her altercation with a cop goes viral, the captain of Oakland’s only all-female fire crew must fight a corrupt city government that threatens to disband them."

I'm pretty serious about these kinds of things, but am cracking jokes at everything else in life.

Looking for: co-conspirators, allies, representation, and someone who wants to make my show!

Loves: uplifting others. Let's goooooo!

Congrats on being a semifinalist, Megan Rees. Your script sounds interesting, but I'm not sure what "the captain of Oakland’s only all-female fire to disband them" means.

I also write anti-racist stories. I wrote a Virtual Reality Drama short script titled "RACEism" this month. I think if racist people saw it, they would see the devastating effect that racism has on people.

Megan Rees

Ugh, copy/paste issues. Will fix. Love to hear it about your story!

Maurice Vaughan

Your script sounds great, Megan Rees! I haven't seen a movie about an all-female fire crew.

Here's the logline for "RACEism": After his wife signs him up for an experimental VR game, a racist white cop experiences racism as a Mexican man and a black man.

rad, Maurice Vaughan that sounds amazing!
