Every once in a while we have the good fortune of working on a project that we feel truly matters, a project that we’ll still be thinking about years from now. Maybe even something we can imagine telling our grandkids about – surely you’ve had moments like that where something you did in your professional life really mattered?

Elizabeth Sherman

Every time I begin a new script or start forming a new idea, I ask myself: what do I wish I could watch right now that doesn’t exist? On the surface, the answer is usually something kind of fun and wacky — a 1950s Housewife/Witch, a boy-crazy co-ed, a gigantic, space-dwelling praying mantis… you get the idea. Read more>>

I would say the meaningful project would be “HittaZone” because thats the first project that me and my cousin “DamnTinoThatsFuego” did together.
