JULY 2020 - One-hour drama pilot teleplay Unnatural Selection has been selected as a finalist for the Humanitas Carol Mendelsohn College Drama Fellowship representing Columbia University and USC. The show, written by the Rodrigues sisters, explores the ethical, social and legal ramifications of using emerging bio-technology to achieve the increasing demand for perceived perfection.
Humanitas is a non-profit organization that honors and empowers film and television writers whose work explores the human condition in a nuanced, meaningful way which brings the global community closer. The overarching goal of Humanitas is to promote peace and love in the human family– one story at a time. The fellowship exists to recognize and reward the talents of young writers to empower them to tell meaningful stories.
The fellowship is thanks to a generous endowment from acclaimed television writer and producer Carol Mendelsohn, best known for her work on the crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, once ranked as the top-watched TV show in the world.
