As any filmmaker will tell you, the journey from script to screen is full of obstacles. For screenwriters, one of the toughest challenges is getting their work in front of the right people. And that's where you come in.
My name is Desirée Fernández-Rodríguez, best known as Desirée Malinowski, and I'm a screenwriter. I've won 3 festivals with my screenplay 'KALI', and even though they might be not well known, for me is a big step. But the road ahead is long, and the next step requires taking my story to even more festivals — a costly process that doesn't always guarantee success. Submitting to festivals requires significant resources, and for many screenwriters, it can feel like a gamble — especially when every submission could mean draining precious savings or risking income that’s already stretched thin.
With your support, we can ease this burden and allow me to focus on what matters most: telling incredible stories. Your donation will help fund submissions to festivals around the world, giving me the chance to compete on a larger scale, gain industry recognition, and most importantly, get one step closer to securing a producer who can bring this, and my other screenplays, to life.
Every dollar counts. Your contribution could be the difference between an opportunity lost and a chance at success. By supporting me, you're not just helping a talented writer — you're investing in the future of cinema, giving a powerful voice the platform it deserves.
Join me in making this dream a reality. Help me submit to more festivals, win more awards, and finally find the producer who will bring this powerful screenplay to the big screen.
