CURSED LANDS
Logline: After her mother’s death, a troubled Chicana discovers she’s been cursed from birth to become the Keeper of her family’s matriarchal ranch in California— a sanctuary for sinister, dangerous creatures from Mexican folklore.

Born and raised in Mexico City, Lore is a Mexican screenwriter and actress all about pink-haired feminism, good ole' "Exorcist" horror, and flowery Macondo-like magical realism. She is the Co-President and Founder of Golden Spike Studios, the only film production group at Stanford. Her feature script is the winner of the Roadmap Diversity Award and a finalist of the WeScreenplay College Screenwriting Awards. She writes female-centered Latinx stories that explore the intersection between the horrific and the beautiful.
