Main director of a Women's Network independent studio, their cinematic endeavors predominantly focus on suspense and relatable drama, skillfully woven together with elements of horror and the supernatural. This is evident in their inaugural production, The Burial, released in 2015.
In 2016, their short film Valencia, based on a renowned urban legend and shot in a single take, garnered widespread critical acclaim online, allowing the director to further hone their craft with increased confidence. This success paved the way for their first feature film, Ensurance Trap, penned by the director themselves and inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. Although receiving a mixed reception, the film marked a significant milestone in their directorial journey.
During their college years, the director simultaneously worked on various projects, including short films and assignments, which featured segments they directed. Notably, they wrote and directed the sequel to Valencia, Asturias, as well as several scripts for full-length films. In 2020, they embarked on their mockumentary, The Ghost Story, a deeply personal project that explores their own experiences growing up. Although the film has yet to be released, it promises to be a thought-provoking and emotional journey.
Following a mental health crisis in 2021, the director took a hiatus from filmmaking, only to announce their return in 2024 with not one, but two feature films: Nicolás de Jesús' Now You See Me... and the long-awaited The Ghost Story.
