A complete interview with Elizabeth
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the screenwriter Elizabeth for taking the time to answer our questions.
Whole team of Liverpool Indie Awards is wishing you the very best in all your future projects. We hope to see more of your exceptional work in the years to come. Thank you once again!
Reading, imagining, feeling, and an inspiring muse who fuels my love for the art of film and the stories to tell.
I think about ordinary people because I believe that behind each one there’s a life story, a job, a family, a way of being—charming or attractive, despicable or detestable—even those who seem to say nothing, yet reveal a great deal about themselves.
I like to talk about inner freedom, about the fears we have and how we limit ourselves to free ourselves from that pressure, to please others at the expense of our own suffering. I like themes where women can always be present, and not pigeonholed as housewives, not because I think being a housewife is bad—on the contrary—but because we are capable of being anything we want or aspire to be, like the story of four devilish women.
It’s natural, appealing to any viewer who can feel all kinds of emotions, who is able to express themselves despite their fears, who dares to break paradigms, to cope with fear not to conquer it, but to make it a part of themselves, so that from there I can be inspired to create stories that reach the soul of the viewer and allow them to identify with the story.
I’m an emerging screenwriter, eager to grow, and I know that in the audiovisual industry you have to be present, know what the market demands, and that it’s not always what the viewer expects to see in a movie. I’m very active on social media and at events in Buenos Aires.
I write professionally, not just out of passion. To that end, I’m studying at a university in Madrid, acquiring tools that will allow me to expand my knowledge and creativity, and to understand the audiovisual market, as well as new technologies.
Very rapidly. It must evolve hand in hand with AI, using it as a tool, not as a substitute for creativity, but as a partner. Screenwriters must adapt to new formats, which are often used by younger generations—stories that young people like to see—but without losing sight of the fact that people from other generations can also adapt.
Get trained, be daring, make things happen, and don’t wait for someone to knock on your door. Don’t try to overcome your fear, but learn to master it so you can go out and tell your stories, with your own perspectives.
