Former TV News Producer Showcases Latin Culture With New Series ‘Gordita Chronicles'
Forestieri, who left Miami at age 35, said arriving to the West Coast with a mission forced her to prepare for the challenge she was about to face. “I had to fall in love with the journey. I had to learn to be a better writer, take classes.”After having been accepted into several writing programs, in 2018 Forestieri did her first screenwriting job, and in 2019 she collaborated on the Netflix series Selena.
Eva Longoria, Zoe Saldaña, Claudia Forestieri and Olivia Goncalves attend HBO Max's"Gordita Chronicles" Red Carpet Premiere Event at Valentine DTLA on June 12, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. The series shows how young Cucú faces the challenges of being an immigrant in a new world, showing her courage, humor, mischief, as well as the importance of her culture and family.“I wanted to write a script that was personal. I was an immigrant girl, I wanted a better life, I had to learn a new language, a new lifestyle in a new country, and make new friends,” said Forestieri.
The writer added that most immigrants who arrive to a new country “want a better life, they want the country to be better” and that is precisely what the series will show.
