WRITER - DIRECTOR
Bettina is a Venezuelan storyteller and filmmaker.
Having spent her childhood moving across borders, first to Mexico then to the United States, Bettina has always been fascinated by reality as a subjective construct. Her work often centers on overlooked or forgotten characters who challenge their own realities and the limits the world imposes on them. Despite her stories being grounded, she readily employs magical realism to connect with the audience in unexpected ways.
After graduating from the University of Southern California, she worked with and mentored under director Michael Gracey (“The Greatest Showman"). It was during this time that she learned how to push the limits of cinematic storytelling through visual language.
Most recently, Bettina served as a co-writer on Netflix’s animated film “Ladybug & Cat Noir: The Movie” and the writer-director of Audible’s fiction podcast “PREVIA: A Tech Heist,” starring Alan Cumming and Melissa Fumero.
