Victoria is a Colombian writer and director based in New York. Filmmaker Magazine named her one of the “25 New Faces of Independent Film” and was a Fellow at the Film Independent Screenwriters and Directors Labs. Her work has screened at Telluride Film Festival, Tribeca and Palm Springs where she was awarded Best Short Film in 2019.

She holds an MFA in Screenwriting and Film Directing from Columbia University. Victoria splits her time between New York, Colombia and anywhere she can find swimmable —or, rather, dive-able waters. She is currently in development of her first feature film, Malpelo, and works as a commercial director.
