Victoria Vertuga is a Los Angeles and Atlanta based actress turned writer/director/producer/lover of slashes. Sick of playing endless variations of "hot blonde," "dumb blonde" and "hot dumb blonde" she ventured into writing. 

Her pilot scripts "Tithes" and "The Other City" have been contenders at Austin Film Festival, The Scriptlab, and Screencraft's TV Pilot Contests. Her webseries "DisGraced" premiered at the Women's Comedy Film Festival in spring of 2021 and has since played at over 35 festivals garnering over 20 award nominations and 10 wins, including multiple best actress and best comedy wins. 

She has two feature length horror films coming out in 2022, "Lexi" and "Cold Blows the Wind" which she worked on in front of and behind the camera. Outside of the biz, she is part of the non-profit Angel City Pitbulls and dog mom to three rescues of her own.

Yoo welcome to episode 4 of pitch the script podcast. If you’re new to the show we meet with writers, directors, producers and actors from the entertainment space to learn what it takes to actually get a show or movie made. This week we have writer and friend, Cortez Cubillas. We talk about his early days as a writer, breaking into the entertainment space, what the day to day of a writer looks like and of course getting producers to look at a script.
