Ximena Ríos

Ximena graduated from Sandi Somers’ Herland Workshop for Independent Female Filmmakers in 2018-19 and has since pursued a career in independent filmmaking. This path has led her to winning nominations and awards for web-series and editing on various projects. Ximena felt an immediate connection to the Creative Incubator Initiative because of the desire to tell the story of artists behind the scenes of their work. She finds as much beauty in the way art is created as in the final product. As a filmmaker, she respects artists because she is one herself. She was eager to capture the unseen beauty that lays in the artists’ creative process.
