ABOUT ME

Screenwriter/creative

I am a Colombian screenwriter and writer. For more than twenty years, I built my career in advertising, working as a creative director, producer, and content creator. It was there that writing became the heart of my work, and screenwriting my main creative territory.

Since then, I have developed projects for film and television spanning science fiction, thriller, dark comedy, and magical realism. My work has received selections and recognition at international festivals and screenwriting competitions.

Literature is also an essential part of my journey as a writer. I am the author of How to Be a Violet Dragon – Confessions of a Dragon, and I continue to develop my literary work alongside my film and television projects.

My writing grows out of a curiosity for things that do not always have a single explanation, and from a connection to the fantastic that is also rooted in my family history. I am drawn to stories that move between the visible and the intangible, but above all, to stories that confront their characters with what it truly means to be human.

to be me

Auteur cinema with a feminine voice. A definition that may seem obvious, yet carries multiple meanings.

The female voice in the audiovisual world holds nuances of strength, vulnerability, tenacity, and intensity; it can move from the absurd to the deepest realms of emotion and human experience.

It is from that freedom, without the need to fit into a single way of seeing or storytelling, that I build my stories.

HIDDEN TRUTHS

We live in a reality that has redefined the boundaries between the rational, the spiritual, and the technological. We can be, at the same time, a little like ascetic monks and a little like tech geeks.

I am particularly drawn to that ambiguous territory: the space where what belongs to reality for some belongs to fiction for others.

It is in this gray area that many of my stories are born. I grew up in a family where the fantastic could naturally coexist with everyday life, and that perspective continues to shape my writing.

I am interested in fiction that raises questions, challenges what we take for granted, and allows audiences to encounter some of what they know and much of what they can only sense.
