FILMS THAT MOVE

I make films that, through aesthetics and storytelling, aim to create transformative experiences. I design social impact campaigns using art and strategic communication. I enjoy acting and occasionally take part in improv shows and film projects.

My work explores issues of identity, memory, and diversity—my lifelong obsessions and the core of my career as a filmmaker and communicator. I have twenty years of experience designing media campaigns and communication strategies in a constantly evolving world. I have worked with Amnesty International, UN agencies, WWF, the Red Cross, and other organizations.

As a film producer, my first project was Daughter of the Lake, a documentary directed by Tito Cabellos. Its release allowed me to apply everything I had learned from my previous experience in social campaigns, leading to a profound impact on multiple levels. That was when I fully grasped the power of cinema as a tool for transformation. Since then, I have combined filmmaking with campaign design, developing inclusive narratives in collaboration with communities.

As a filmmaker, I directed The Song of the Butterflies, which won Best Ibero-American Documentary at the Guadalajara Film Festival and was screened at dozens of festivals, TV networks, and global platforms. I produced the television documentaries Amazonía Nuestra and Purus-Manu, both directed by Héctor Gálvez, and was part of the transmedia documentary Quipu Project, directed by Rosemarie Lerner and María Ignacia Court, as an impact producer in Peru. As an actress, I starred in What copules do, directed by Antolín Prieto. Currently, I am producing Ser Hamlet, a documentary directed by Chela De Ferrari, and writing my next feature film, Aquestes Muntanyes.

I hold a degree in Audiovisual Communication, a Master’s in Human Development and another Master’s in Screenwriting. I live between Catalonia and Peru and collaborate on projects worldwide.
