Abstract

Bianca is the baby of her large Colombian/Puerto Rican family. She will use that and her spitfire personality to her advantage any chance she gets. A heated debate is her love language and sarcasm, the enemy. A lover of surreal worlds, Bianca thinks of herself part of her own Colombian crime family. Growing up on a healthy diet of campy black comedies and deep crime dramas, Bianca fuses the two in a new way. She would say her disability is the least interesting thing about her, but it does serve to give her a unique perspective on writing disabled characters. With a flair for the overdramatic, at least one of her characters dies in her scripts, but they always deserve it. Bianca was lucky enough to serve as Associate Producer on a feature starring Anthony Hopkins. He didn’t die in that one.
