About

Andrea recently leapt out of her comfort zone as a feauture film director in Mexico City to move to Toronto and sort of start from scratch. She has directed four feature films. The first, INSIGNIFICANT THINGS, was executive produced by Guillermo del Toro and participated in the Sundance Screenwriter’s Lab. It premiered at the San Sebastian Film Festival. She went on to direct the award-winning intimate documentary CICLO about her father’s bicycle journey from Mexico to Canada. After that came OBSERVAR LAS AVES about a writer who decides to say farewell to life through a movie, winning the People’s Choice Award at the Los Cabos Film Festival. Her most recent film, TARE, stars renowned Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta (Narcos, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) and is in post-production. Andrea is currently developing the romantic comedy SMITTEN as well as THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS, her first venture in the world of Web Series -well, if you don’t count her self-produced web series LA HISTORIA DEL GALLO about her restaurant Gallo Güero, as a way of helping it survive the pandemic. (It didn’t but at least she has a series to show for it). Andea is a member of the DGC and alumna of WIDC.
