Movie projects typically begin with one or more ideas.
Back in 2019, not long after discovering bachata, I wrote a short script (roughly 40 pages long) called Small Town Bachata. It wasn’t very good.
A lot has happened since then. We survived the Covid-19 pandemic, we worked on other movie projects, we learned a lot, and we had some great experiences.
Having said this, I never forgot about the Colorado bachata story I wanted to tell.
Because I grew up in a small town in Eastern Colorado, I wanted to keep that idea in the story. When I was a kid, I dreamed of moving away and making big things happen. When I started learning bachata, I was impressed by the freedom I felt while dancing and the strength of the bachata community in Colorado.
To build on these ideas, I decided to expand the script into a full-length screenplay called Bachata Becomes Her.
Today, I completed the first draft.
Soon, other pre-production activities can ramp up.
This project is going to be quite the adventure!
