Her first short film, Kafeneio, was presented at DocumentaMadrid 2017 and MIDBO 2017. My Mexican Bretzel, her first feature film, won the awards for Best Film, Best Screenplay and Best Direction from the Spanish Film Jury at FICX’19, the Audience Award at the D’A Festival, and participated in Rotterdam, Visions du Réel, New York Film Festival, among dozens of other festivals.
