About me.

San Francisco-based Spanish doc filmmaker and creative producer. White heterosexual female in her late twenties, raised in a bourgeois neighborhood with divorced, atheist parents. I have a cat, an impressive group of good-looking, left-wing friends and an addiction to house-renovation shows.

I was raised in the height of contradictions, attending a snobby private school while spending my weekends volunteering and participating in demonstrations, preferably against social inequalities. The dual degree in Journalism and Audiovisual Communication that followed left me even more aware of the contradictions of the progressive middle class in which I was raised and played a significant role in determining who I am today, including my dedication to social journalism and my passion for documentary film.

To make matters even worse, after graduating I worked for years as a Creative Producer for Muzungu, a small TV Production company, where I looked for stories that other media had ignored and tried to “give voice to those who lack one”, as I was taught in my Journalistic Ethics class. During the year I travelled the world to interview those excluded by the system, in summer I travelled to the beach.

Today, after graduating from Stanford’s MFA in Documentary Film and Video I still feel like I live in a great paradox, something which has guided the ever-changing passions that give birth to my documentaries. The four shorts that I directed and produced in the program clearly reflect this diversity of interests: from a dark comedy about human beings from the eyes of their dogs, to a hybrid doc about the lies of the media and two other shorts about the ironic dangers of climate change in Alaska and the freedom of a prisoner’s imagination. Working with fascinating subjects, super talented colleagues, friends and amazing professors has awoken in me a new vocation and allowed me to put into practice my research and production experience. I simply cannot wait to make more media.
