Rosita Lama Muvdi

Rosita is a Colombian directress and screenwriter who believes we all have a monster lurking deep inside us and, every now and then, an uncontrollable hunger forces us to surrender to that darkness and allow our inner monster to come out and play. The darkness in female sexuality, the perversion in the mundane, and viscerally penetrating emotional imagery are themes that are ever-present in Rosita’’s work.

Rosita pursued a B.S. in Film and Television at Boston University where her film SOMBRA AZUL won first place at the Redstone Film Festival. After graduating, Rosita worked as Director of Production at Coliseo Films where she directed television, commercial and documentary work in Colombia. Rosita later obtained her M.F.A. in Directing at the American Film Institute Conservatory where she wrote and directed her thesis film LA SIRENA, a psychosexual fairy tale about a woman who surrenders to her inner monster to avenge her broken heart.
