ABOUT ME

Giovanna Molina is a Mexican-Italian-American filmmaker from Brooklyn, NY, based in LA. Her films explore stories of isolation, belief and surrealism within a female coming-of-age context. She studied directing at UCLA and film and creative writing at Johns Hopkins University and has received grants and fellowships from Sundance, PBS, The Future of Film is Female and the Saul Zaentz Innovation Fund. Her most recent film, QUAKER, had its world premiere at the 2025 Berlinale, and her screenplay, KISMET, was selected for Wscripted’s 2024 Cannes Screenplay list, present by MUBI.
