FRANCISCO CABRERA-FEO
Were Cabrera-Feo an actor, you might say of his television credits, “He has good taste in projects.” As a writer for Netflix’s Boyle Heightsset gentrification dramedy “Gentefied,” HBO Max’s acclaimed coming-of-age comedy “Gordita Chronicles” and the illuminating docuseries about LGBTQ Latino identity “Visions of Us,” though, it might be more accurate to say the projects have good taste in him. Cabrera-Feo, based in Los Angeles, doesn’t just bring his directorial experience, Venezuelan background and bisexual identity to bear in writers rooms, either: He’s one of a cadre of young TV writers of color on Twitter set on demystifying the industry and demanding more (not to mention more thoughtful) representation — and using social media to forge the connections to do it. (There are also thirst tweets, thankfully.) Cabrera-Feo is the ultimate #followfriday pick if you want to see someone on the rise in real time, making his way in a notoriously tough business. And with his freshest credit, Netflix’s much-anticipated “Blockbuster,” the upward trend shows no signs of slowing.
