< Back Heather Ragsdale Heatherragsdale@outlook.com Heather Ragsdale is the product of two hippies who moved to the wilderness of Northern California with a dream of living off the land. A childhood spent without electronics fueled her imagination. Not only did she read everything she could get her hands on, but the stage became her second home. Following high school, she was hired to teach foster teens improvisational skills as a way to recognize cycles of abuse. It gave her insight into the generations of women in her own family who had found a way to rise above their circumstances. As such, her scripts tend to revolve around survivors who choose to re-frame and re-write their stories. Inspired by the transformative power of storytelling, Heather moved to LA where she received her undergraduate degree from Occidental College in theater. Heather worked her way up from stage managing to producing new plays to directing. She returned to USC to get her Master’s degree in film production where she won a D.G.A. Award and a Student Emmy. Heather went on to work as a writer’s assistant for Toni Graphia and Ronald D. Moore. Her scripts have won and placed in CineStory, The Writers Lab, Final Draft Big Break, PAGE, Nicholl Fellowships, Austin Film Festival, and the Sundance labs.

< Back Ambra Chavira ambra.chavira@gmail.com https://ambrachavira.wixsite.com/website Coverfly A Latina and California native, Ambra writes about kick-ass women. Her great grandfather rode with Pancho Villa during the Mexican revolution, what else would you expect? Naturally curious and a bit of a wiseass, Ambra loves to play with the typical story structure of TV and Film while also staying true to the genre. Her first female centered story was published in third grade. After that, she was hooked. Growing up, she didn't see many films with a strong female protagonist, certainly not any who looked like her, so it's important she create stories that inspire women of all ages to step into their power. Like her great-grandfather, Ambra packed up her life on the back of a horse-well, her car- and moved to L.A. with a leap of faith and a dream. She’s since worked on several independent projects in various roles, from 1st AD to Director to Floor Manager on a local Health Show, including the award-winning Fragile Storm and Killer Friends. Her set experience influences her writing, allowing her to understand what works, what doesn’t and how to adjust story for production. An architect of emotion, her storytelling digs down to your soul, leaving a lasting impact long after you've finished watching. Building worlds where women shine is what brings her the most joy in her writing. No stranger to smashing barriers and kicking ass herself, you can usually find Ambra out-lifting most guys at the gym, doting on her nieces and nephews or arguing with her seven pound Yorkie. non-WGA Female, BIPOC, Latinx, Indigenous/Native American VENGEANCE When a former cartel hitwoman turned finance manager undergoes hypnosis to forget how to kill, she must later confront her past life in order to avenge the people who tried to kill her fiancé.
