Raul Martin Romero

Raul is a writer of grit, pain, laughter, and fabulousness. His stories are rooted in an obscure childhood north of Madrid where he wandered dark, ancient hallways of a 15th-century castle while his mother mopped the floors for the next day's tour groups. The experience, both fascinating and terrifying, fueled his wild urge to imagine fantastical worlds. Outside those walls, the real world was a lot harder to escape. He knew that sneaking into his sister's room and playing with her dolls was not "normal." At an early age, Raul developed a duality that he struggled to cope with - a public "normal" side of himself and a private, more familiar one. Raul spent his teenage years searching for his voice, both as a person and a writer. Years later, while finishing his English studies, he connected with talented dreamers, writers, and filmmakers who helped him reconcile the two parts of his duality and redefine his own perception of "normal." Since then, he has written a variety of short films and TV pilots. Raul worked as a writers' PA, showrunner's assistant (season 2), and script coordinator (season 3) on Vida, STARZ, and was the script coordinator on Ava DuVernay and Colin Kaepernick's Colin in Black & White, Netflix. Raul is a WAN (Writer's Assistant Network) and OUTFEST Screenwriting Lab fellow, and is currently working on GREASE: Rise of the Pink Ladies, Paramount+.
