Where did you come up with the concept that just placed as Finalist in the screenplay contest? How long did it take you to develop it into the screenplay it is now?

The story is about a Customs Broker and how she became one. There is little written about the Customs Broker trade and how difficult it is to become one.

I thought that was also an opportunity to write about the infuence of latins in the field of ligistics in South Florida.

Defenitevely it is a story that has not been told before.

From concept to finished draft, can you take us through your screenwriting process?
