Francisco Cabrera-Feo

Francisco Cabrera-Feo is a Gen-Z bisexual, bilingual, and bittersweet TV & Film writer/producer raised by an activist mother in Venezuela before emigrating to South Florida at age 11. He recently finished writing on Season 4 of Eugenio Derbez's ACAPULCO (Apple TV+) as a Co-Producer and is currently adapting a YA novel for SONY PICTURES TV, as well as developing a pop culture-infused romantic comedy feature with Sue Kroll’s KROLL & CO. (Birds of Prey, A Star is Born) producing. His previous writing credits include: GENTEFIED (Netflix, Peabody-Nominated), GORDITA CHRONICLES (Hulu, LA Times' Top TV Show of 2022), Season 3 of ACAPULCO (Apple TV+, 100% on RT), and others. The Los Angeles Times recently called him both "a writer on the rise" and "thirsty on Twitter" -- he cannot confirm or deny either. He writes for the closeted chubby kids who wore t-shirts in the pool and were forced into Catholic school even if the body of Christ compelled them, and despite PEOPLE MAGAZINE calling him “The New Promise of Latino Cinema," his mother still thinks he's a gringo.
