A non-binary performer born and raised in Puerto Rico by actors Gerardo Ortiz and Evelyn Rosario, Vico Ortiz was influenced by the arts from the day they were born. The stage was their first love, followed by fencing in their pre-teens. Most of their teenage life was spent traveling the world representing Puerto Rico in the National Fencing Team as their saber fencer, including the Panamerican Games in Rio '07. Once High School was over, they packed their bags and moved to Los Angeles, CA to study at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts. There, they rekindled the love for the performative arts and discovered their calling. Visibility. Their mission is to showcase diversity in the Latinx culture on Stage, TV and Film. They want young queers and people around the globe to see characters on screen that are relatable no matter their background, their sexual orientation or gender identity. They are excited to ride this wave of new content and can't wait to share it with the world.
Winning the lottery has ruined Opal Devlin's’s life. After quitting her dead-end job where she’d earned minimum wage and even less respect, she’s bombarded by people knocking at her door for a handout the second they found out her bank account was overflowing with cash. And Opal can’t seem to stop saying yes. With her tender heart thoroughly abused, Opal decides to protect herself by any means necessary, which to her translates to putting almost all her new money to buying a failing flower farm in Asheville, North Carolina to let the flowers live out their plant destiny while she uses the cabin on the property to start her painting business. But her plans for isolation and self-preservation go hopelessly awry when an angry (albeit gorgeous) Pepper Smith is waiting for her at her new farm. Pepper states she’s the rightful owner of Thistle and Bloom Farms, and isn’t moving out. The unlikely pair strike up an agreement of co-habitation, and butt-heads at every turn. Can these opposites both live out their dreams and plant roots? Or will their combustible arguing (and growing attraction) burn the whole place down?
