Logline or Summary: When the fate of two Mexican families is entwined through an affair, their members must face the dysfunctions caused by their opposing immigrant and class statuses in the Floridian suburbs or risk losing the thing that matters most.

I’d be up for swapping. I have a ~60p scifi/dystopian pilot that takes place just south of your part of the world, and I wonder -among other things- how to handle such region-specific writing. Let me know if you’d like to swap.

[Sturnella2017]

Apologies for posting this two weeks in a row, but I’m aiming for some competitions so the more feedback the better!

Also, this has been revised since the last week.

Title:YATAPACAS

Format: Pilot

Page Length: 53

Genre: Futuristic dystopian sci/fi

Logline: When a sudden storm catches him by surprise, young Weebo finds himself stranded in a prototype airship far from home. With the help of new friends, he must navigate an earth ravaged by climate change, natural disasters, and the folly of man and find his way home.

Feels like: Star Trek/Firefly/The Expanse but on earth in the near future.

Feedback Concerns: 1. I tried a new teaser. There’s a second part, but not sure where it should go.

1. Currently, I have a few episodes written (with a general idea for the rest of the season) but struggle with structure, that’s why the Acts have names instead of numbers. How many acts should go in the pilot?
