Filmmaker Bio:
Arantxa Echevarría is a Spanish production manager, director, and writer, whose short films and documentaries have played at international film festivals and whose De noche y de pronto (2013) was nominated for Best Fiction Short at the 28th edition of the Goya Awards. From an early age, Echevarria was fascinated by film and went on to study audiovisual communication; her first short film Panchito (2010) merely fueled her love for storytelling. Carmen & Lola, her debut feature film, premiered internationally in 2018.
