Capítulo 012: On this episode of Ocu-Pasión we are joined by Madelyn Dorta, writer, producer, and founder of Wrightwood studios. Listen in as we discuss creating authentic, diverse, and epic works of fiction!
"Allow yourself to be vulnerable enough to find creative joy"
"At the age of six, I got superpowers. That’s what I thought at the time. I had the ability to pick up a #2 Ticonderoga pencil and create worlds. I could create great kingdoms, giant monsters, and badass heroines who saved the day. I had the power to create. This superpower has evolved many times through the course of my life and morphed into something different, the NEED to create. The annoying itch that can’t be scratched with anything other than storytelling, trust me...I’ve tried.
I created Meteor City in a desperate attempt to get a story out of my mind. A story that was consuming all of my waking thoughts and my dreams sometimes too. A story of afrolatina woman who tries desperately to understand and recognize the world and her community around her. Through this journey, I found my passion for audio storytelling and there is no turning back."
