Hi Everyone,
My name is Gina Risso and I am an aspiring screenwriter. I have been working on my first script for the past 1 1/2 years. It went from a feature to a pilot, after some feedback and contemplation. I have two close friends who have been really successful as writers and producers in the business who have mentored me through the process of writing this first script. Per their recommendation, after many edits and reworks, they assure me I am close to seeking representation and pitching this story. I entered an older version in a contest last year, and it was rated a 7 at the time, but the new versions have tackled the feedback given and it is a much more captivating story. I have thoroughly enjoyed the entire process of writing this and am outlining a few more story ideas for future projects. I am excited to be a part of this community and all it has to offer.
