Maria's Bio:
MARIA MEALLA was raised in La Paz, Bolivia on a healthy balance of cultural folklore and Catholic superstition. She moved to Austin, TX where she studied Theater Arts before moving to the Bay Area, where she ventured into filmmaking and taught herself the craft through work-trade. She is Head of Production at Glass and Marker, a full-service creative studio in Oakland, California.
Mealla was selected to participate in the 2019 Artist in Residency program at the Napa Film Festival with her feature debut, BRING ME AN AVOCADO, a Cinequest Audience Award winner streaming on Amazon Prime. She is a 2022 Sidewalk Narrative Labs Fellow. Her latest project in development, BODY SHOP, was selected as a finalist in the 2023 Tribeca Untold Stories competition and pitched live during the festival. Her short film LA MACANA, won HBO's 2023 Pa'lante Competition and is currently streaming on Max.
Most recently, Maria was selected as a Latino Public Broadcasting grantee for her short film JUANA PELOS which will be going into production in Spring 2024.
Maria likes to think of her stories as the arroz con huevo of films: Comforting, unassuming, simple in their magic, and easy to digest.
