ABOUT MARIANA

Every time I think about how many people populate the world; I think about how many stories are out there to be told. I grew up in a country where the film industry seemed like a different world, too distant to reach and only available through the screen of our local movie theatre. That particular strangeness of film is what got my attention for this career path. Every time I sat in the only movie theatre in my city -Tunja, Colombia – I wanted to know how all the magic behind the camera happened. How did these worlds and characters get to be what they are? The question always was: What do I have to do to make that happen? 

​

Now after moving to Canada to pursue a film career and get answers to those questions I am proud to say that I am in my third and final year of the Film and Television Production program at Humber College in Toronto, slowly building the answers to my questions and developing my skills throughout the process. I have directed a short documentary, worked in the camera department and in picture post-production for various short films since I started my journey in the film world. My passion for film keeps growing every day with every project I am involved with, and as time passes by, I am constantly working on improving my skills and taking on new creative projects that bring new worlds, stories, and perspectives to the lives of others just as other filmmakers did for me when I was a kid.
