The limelight is on Josefa: A beautiful and stubborn 1820’s Spanish heroine-turned-villainess

https://www.indiegogo.com/individuals/6845032/x/6845032 Please help me celebrate my mom’s 92nd birthday on April 29, 2014 with a bang! Join me (Conchita) in making my mom’s wishes become a possible film reality (shh… it is a secret!). I need to hire a screen writer to write a screenplay based on the fictionalized life of our ancestor, Josefa del Pumar. My mom just finished writing a first draft of a monograph (quite the scholar, my mom!) based on letters Josefa had sent to the King of Spain circa 1820 asking for a pension, after being expelled from Venezuela by Simon Bolivar. Josefa, a young widow, was Simon Bolivar's sworn foe. I, Josefa, is the treatment I wrote depicting an unlikely powerful and politicized and stubborn Spanish/Venezuelan heroine-turned-villainess in the early 1820's. The story entails a period piece/epic saga with Spanish/Venezuelan/Puerto Rican revolutionary armies, pirates, family intrigue, betrayal, resentments with the Spanish King, political themes, a beautiful and stubborn woman, and a forbidden, passionate and controversial romance with a former nobleman-pirate and political insurgent. The script will be based on -mostly- a true and fascinating family history that my mom helped uncover. An action laden script, Josefa’s story is suitable for (a) a movie, (b) a telenovela and/or (c) a History Channel true story. Josefa was the Marchioness of Pumar, La Marquesa del Pumar, headstrong daughter of El Marquez del Pumar. Thank you for your support! I plan to film my mom’s “birthday surprise” and post it on YouTube. Stay tuned. I appreciate your suggestions for identifying the scriptwriter and for joining me in bringing my mom’s historical work and my fictionalized version of Josefa’s life to the silver screen by donating to fund the development of a movie script, associated legal costs and its related fundraising campaign costs.
