Ms. Lopez’s first screenplay, the comedy "Mr. Hawaii" (co-written by Jay Lacopo), was purchased by Escape Artists/SONY. Lopez, under the auspices of her production company Heroica Films, has written: "Legal Affairs," a romantic comedy recently optioned by a German production company and slated to begin filming this summer (2008); The $cheme (co-written by Marcus Gautesen) which was co-produced under the Heroica Films banner and stars Jimmy Fallon; "Creating Kali" (co-written with Karen Finley, a renowned performance and visual artist who has won both Guggenheim and Obie Awards); comedy feature film, “Ms. & Thrope” which Lopez will direct; and she has written a story for the TV series “Medium” (NBC/Paramount) with writing partner Scott Lobdell (writer of Columbia Pictures/Revolution Studios’ Man of the House). Heroica Films’ short film Please... was produced, written and directed by Lopez and had its debut at the Portuguese Film Festival, “Man and His Environment.” Another Heroica Films’ short film I Killed My Lesbian Wife Hung Her on A Meat Hook and Now I Have a Three Picture Deal at Disney, co-written and produced by Lopez and directed by Ben Affleck, was licensed by AtomShockwave for worldwide distribution and sales and is included in their video compilation “AtomFilms Best of 2000: Cinema with an Edge”. Her short film Filet of 4 had its premiere at the 2003 Tribeca Film Festival. She directed and executive produced the TV pilot presentation "Sideliners,” about the lives of professional cheerleaders in the NFL, whose cast includes Judd Nelson and football legend Jim Brown. She recently completed an HD Spanish language short film she directed in Spain, Ese Beso, starring well-known Spanish actors (Daniel Freire from Sex and Lucia and Lia Chapman from Before Night Falls). Lopez is a graduate of the first IFP Director’s Lab under the tutelage of Allison Anders and the Writer’s Lab with Lee David Zlotoff. She was selected for these on the basis of her short film Please… and her script “Legal Affairs.” She is very proud to make A Single Woman her feature film debut as a director and hopes that it will contribute to the growing desire in American society to leave a history of war behind forever.
