About me
In 2011, my passion for film drove me to move to Spain, where I studied at Ciudad de la Luz Film School, under acclaimed director Pablo Berger (Torremolinos 73, Blancanieves, Abracadabra). I graduated in 2013 with a BA in Film Directing.I then moved to the UK to study at the prestigious London Film School, chaired by legendary film director Mike Leigh. There, I worked as a writer, director, editor and in the camera, lighting and sound departments on numerous short film and documentary projects, digitally, on 16mm and 35mm film. I graduated with Distinction in the spring of 2018 with an MA in Filmmaking.
My graduation film August Sun has already been shortlisted for the 2018 BAFTA Student Film Awards and is a finalist at the 2018 Student Film Awards. It has been officially selected, among many others, at the 2018 Sao Paulo International Short Film Festival, the 2018 Rhode Island Int’l Film Festival and the 2018 Palm Springs Int’l ShortFest for its World Premiere.
Although my ambition is to one day write and direct full-length narrative fiction, I’m interested in many aspects of the industry and I’m keen to gain a broad experience. I believe that the opportunity to work in advertising and post-production would be an invaluable opportunity to greatly expand and hone my filmmaking skills.
I've lived and worked in Argentina, USA, Austria, Spain and the UK. I’m fluent in three languages, and, as a citizen from both Latin America and Europe, I can work well across different platforms, whether it’d be a TV ad in Buenos Aires or a film set in London.
