My homework assignment 4 - (Story Concept) – Plot Twist Screenwriting training program – July 2021

[Untitled (for now)]   [Reference: siblings 1]   A group of five high school friends –age 16 to 17— have been preparing for prom for the last three weeks. They all have their dates, suits, cars and very exciting and romantic plans. This is the night. They have been together since elementary school. The bond is long and strong. They’re like brothers. Everything is set for this big evening, and apparently their respective dates are totally willing also, or close to be. One of them is half-sister to one of the five friends. They don’t live together, they live with their respective moms and their stepfathers, but they have a healthy relationship and the group actually gets along well having half-siblings among them. They all drive amazing vehicles this night; some rented, some borrowed. They pick their girls up; one dressed lovelier than the other. The sky is beautiful. The event at the school hall had the most amazing music and atmosphere. The usual bullies and pranksters seem

My homework assignment 2 - (Story Concept) - Plot Twist Screenwriting training program – July 2021 (*Read footnote at the end)

[Untitled (for now)]  [Reference: Crew 3]   The crew of professional cat burglars (Mel, Leo, Chris, August and Nat), finally arrive at their secure location. Thanks to Nat the contortionist, who remained hidden in a very small compartment on the boat, they could escape Interpol upon arriving at the city docks. Simple. She snuck out unnoticed and freed them while the cops where distracted with formalities and paperwork, since they were not being closely guarded. They are now countries away from where they were captured. Now at the mansion there are lots of signs of struggle but not forced entry. Kathe is not home, as they presumed.  They are all stressed, nervous and also scared for Kathe. Nothing makes sense so far. They are always cautions, disciplined, and truth worthy with one another.  They have never failed a job, never had encounters with law enforcement officials and never had competitors in the field. Surely they have many competitors but among the community there is a code

[Untitled (for now)] [Reference: crew 2] A crew of professional cat burglars have been planning their last heist for the last 3 weeks. Buying stocks, islands, mansions, cars, starting hotel chains and throwing a big wedding are among their dreams after this score. They already have the buyer for the item they are going to steal, and the price will settle them for life. Leo and Mel –which are engaged— are the de facto leaders of their joined jobs, the most agile and crafty of the group. There is also Chris the tech guy, August the gear specialist and Nat the contortionist. Kathe manages the negotiations, the drops, and the deliveries, exchanges and serves as the legal front of their operations. She, however, never goes on the field. She stays in a secure location, countries away. On THE night, everything goes smoothly as planned, as always… spotless, professional work. Mel, as usual, is the one in charge of carrying the package. This time is a small gray case. They all meet at the r

[Untitled (for now)] [Reference: crew 1] Mel and Kathe arrive to this place they’ve been planning to have lunch in for the last week. Kathe made the reservation for a table for 2 at the plaza –a nice outdoor area— in the middle of a famous café district in town. The restaurants around share this open square as a common patio for customers that wish to enjoy an open-air meal. The traffic on the plaza is mostly pedestrian, cyclists and the occasional Vespa. They engage in some small talk. Kathe complains about the clothes Mel is wearing; “sports tights” she called them, adding that she hardly ever dresses for the occasion. Mel defends her choices describing her style as comfortable and not “sport tights” but “training clothes”. She adds that she could never be moving around in dresses and high heels like Kathe. In a blink of the eye Mel’s bag is snatched, and also whatever she was saying. Kathe yells out of surprise and panic. Everyone around as well, but Mel could see some actual ha

Gotero de un Témpano - Mi pirmer libro

Imagen
 Gracias a la mano de Halley Ediciones de Buenos Aires, celebro la llegada de Gotero de un Témpano , mi primer poemario, que recopila una serie textos breves de mi cuenta de twitter. Siempre soñé con tener libros bajo mi nombre (cualquiera de los dos nombres). Imaginé que podría ser uno o dos cuentos cortos en una compilación junto con textos de otros autores, o en una especie de antología de poemas de mediano o largo aliento de los que tanto me gusta exhalar por los dedos. Confieso –entre risas—, jamás imaginé que el libro primogénito sería de tweets. Las vueltas que da la vida, graciosas las cosas de Dios, irónico que es el destino. Como sea que se ponga y como se vea, debí haber esperado algo inesperado de mí. Así, impredecible como el hielo del cual nadie espera sufrir una quemadura (Axé por eso). Desde el 2010, fecha en la que creé esa cuenta de microblogueo, acostumbro a soltar botellas con inmediateces mentales adentro; algunas hasta sin corcho de tanta impaciencia que me da p

Después te cuento

Quiero contarte de infinitos intermitentes Contarte de fragmentos inmediatos de inmensidades Como un pestañar despues de soñarte Como esa vuelta entera a la galaxia Sin escala alguna en ninguna de tus estrellas Porque les perdí la cuenta      Quiero contarte de cifras en papel arrugado Contarte de intentos y de borrones De grafitos quebrados por falta de fuerza De resmas a medio abrir De hojas apiladas en torres inestables De paginas en blanco donde te leo sin necesidad de escribir      Quiero contarte de mi día y de todos Contarte de mis caminos y rutas Los que me llevan a todas partes y a ningún lado Los que se dividen sin preguntar y me hacen dudar Los que terminan en el siguiente día y vuelven a comenzar Ese día donde no estás pero cuyo destino parece llegar a ti      Quiero contarte de mis ratos vivos Contarte de los muchos que no existen Como los tonos de voz penosos, nerviosos Los que esconden la verdad de palabra De palabras que les tiembla el pulso De impulsos contenidos por s
