Director Statement

There are several reasons why I wanted to develop this story into a television series. The goals are to bring a positive female role model to television;  to bring positive Latino characters to television, ones who are not defined by their ethnicity, accent, first language, or cast in stereotypical roles; to shine a light on all of the fangirls in the world, and deal with some of the issues fangirls face in a male dominated geek culture;  to tackle the issues of bullying (cyber & traditional); and, to reinforce the importance of inner beauty and self worth through a character that is likeable due to her personality, not her looks. Much like the popularity of shows like Community and The Big Bang Theory, we look to embrace the appeal of pop culture references and geek culture, while telling a story that will speak to all audiences. ~ Carlo L.
