Hi everyone. I’m David Figueroa, a Los Angeles-based screenwriter coming to the craft after more than three decades working inside large public institutions.
That background heavily influences how I write. I’m particularly interested in what I call “administrative horror,” stories where the antagonist is not necessarily one evil individual, but an entire system of rules, incentives, traditions, relationships, and institutional power.
I currently have two television projects, The Black Sun, a historical science-fiction/supernatural drama set during World War II, and Sleeping Beauty of Catania, a gothic historical limited series set in early-1900s Sicily.
I’m new to the entertainment-industry side of this world, so I’m here primarily to learn, meet people, and contribute where my own experience is useful. Glad to be here.
