Ananais D Pittman Hi OBS. I just discovered your website and I probably will become a member although I am not a writer. However, I am writing a script called Belinda Cries. Based on a true story about a couple in love, strength, encouragemnt, faith and sadness because she died recently from breast cancer. But she was very strong and... there are still some stories on the internet about her. She started an organization to educate underserved women about the disease and won all sort of awards and waw a hot media person on the disease.
A very compelling story with a messge. But I need help competing it. I tried to contact Tyler Perry and Spike Lee to no avail.
