Kelly Obigael
Filmmaker
Writer, visual artist, activist and filmmaker.
As of now, I have written, directed, and produced several short films and plays. My first films, LEAVE (2021) and Letters & Football (2023), are currently being screened at national and international festivals, with multiple selections.
I have directed art and collaborated in other areas of film, such as script, data manager, making-of, and as art and sound assistant on different projects.
I also have a diploma in Voice Acting and Dubbing, as well as professional experience as a Community Manager and public speaker thanks to my collaboration with XLH México.
Although my passion is directing and my strength is producing, I am always open to keep discovering other areas of film and expanding my experience and knowledge, in order to become a better artist.
