The three characters played by terrific stage and film actors: Aris Mejías, José Eugenio Hernández and Camila Monclova.


The award winning actress began her 20 years career with a small 16mm war camera in NY. It was love at first sight. This catapulted her to local puertorrican film, theatre and television productions. Notably
in feature films such as “Cayo" (2006) by Vicente Juarbe, “Che” (2008) by Steven Soderbergh, and particularly in “The Vessel” (2016) by Julio Quintana with an executive production of Terrence Malick and co-starring Martin Sheen, which showcased her bilingual abilities by shooting simultaneously all scenes in Spanish and English.


She has an arts and design background with patternmaking and high end couture tailoring experience that has proven as consistent to her acting capacities.
