Script and Development Consulting
MARCCELA MORENO
As a film and series script consultant, I provide expert feedback and guidance on narrative projects in development. I help producers to craft compelling stories, characters, and dialogues that appeal to their target audience and potential decision makers. I also assist producers in pitching their ideas to studios, distributors, and other stakeholders. I have a keen eye for detail, a creative flair, and narrative structure as well industry experience of how to craft an enticing and well-rounded "bible" and project materials. My narrative expertise comes from working as a script analyst and project curator for the series division at Globo, Latin America's largest media conglomerate.
Work
2019-2022
Globo
Content Specialist for Series
and Miniseries
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
As a content specialist working at Globo - Latin America's largest media conglomerate, and an important player internationally - I participate in the process of curating and selecting projects of series and miniseries that will be produced and broadcasted not only on linear TV - both cable and free access - as well as in the growing streaming service Globoplay.
In my work I analyse the strength of a content regarding its storytelling structure and compelling narratives, commercial potential and character building. Once a project has the greenlight, my team and I offer assistance to the writer's room in a manner similar to scriptdoctoring.

Translator - Portuguese to English
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Throughout 2018 I worked as a translator for the first season of SINTONIA, Brazilian Netflix Original created by hip hop and funk media mogul Kondzilla, owner of one of YouTube largest channels and a cultural phenomenon in Brazil. My work entailed translating the Portuguese written scripts and adapting it to English, preserving the authenticity of the universe - São Paulo's poor, violent and diverse neighborhoods - but also making it relatable to the American Headquarters. The result even became object of study of a class of Literature and Translation of a local university.
