"I am a writer, director and editor from Cordoba, Argentina. I directed and co-wrote the short VR film "4 Feet: Blind Date", supported by the Sundance Institute and by the Biennale di Venezia College Cinema VR. It premiered at Biennale di Venezia 2018, Sundance 2019 and SXSW 2019, winning in the last one the best VR narrative award. It also won awards in Dok Leipzig and Guanajuato Film Festival.

I then directed and co-wrote the fictional crossplatform series 4 Feet High, produced by Arte France TV, which premiered in Biennale di Venezia 2020, Sundance 2021, BFI 2021, TIFF Next Wave, and won jury and audience award in SXSW 2021.

With the support of TSOA scholarship and Maurice Kanbar Scholarship, I am currently pursuing MFA in Graduate Film at NYU Tisch School of the Arts."
