Director Biography - Andrea Figueroa

Andrea Figueroa Chávez is a mexican director, and as Frida Kahlo once said, “I paint flowers so they will not die.'' She makes films so that emotions endure. She sees life through the most colorful, emotional, surreal and yet realistic way thanks to her Mexican roots.

She graduated from the New York Film Academy in 2022 and was part of the prestigious program "Gold Rising" by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (A.M.P.A.S). She collaborated with the Mexican Consulate of Los Angeles in Women in Film Initiatives.

The mountains, rivers, corn fields, and Magic that embraced her when she was growing up helped her to create from within, to create realities that are not only relatable but can be felt deeply in order to change, wonder and dream.
