Writing the next draft of: StoneHeart a deconstructed western (Forenes Writing Workshop; The MacDowell Colony) Beatriz "Birdie" Zermani has a beautiful Northern Mexican family proudly belonging to the top echelons of society in Ciudad Juarez, 1987. When her house begins to literally fall into itself, her persecution dementia, belief of a curse, and the joining of a new member of the household are enough to throw Birdie off the precipice of early on-set Alzheimer's and memory affectations. As the city around them begins to crumble like the very foundation of their stone home, the Zermani's cope with death, a crumbling legacy, and the uprise of a new generation of 'society's finest,' the drug lords of today. |
