The Pineapple Diaries is a comedic web series, written and directed by Paloma Valenzuela. The show centers around the lives of three best friends: Maite, Feliz, and Catalina and their electric next-door neighbor, Montserrat. They live in the predominantly Latino neighborhood of Jamaica Plain in Boston, Massachusetts. In “The Pineapple Diaries,” we follow these dynamic women in their late twenties as they discover themselves, each other and the absurdities of every day life. The Pineapple Diaries proves that with Latina protagonists and a diverse cast of characters, you can create a show that is funny, endearing, universal, and undoubtedly relatable to many.
