Almendra Castro is a director and screenwriter from Chiapas, Mexico. Her work emerges from fiction and is driven by a sensitive, intuitive, and deeply visual perspective. Her short film Ha received the Special Jury Award at the Morelia International Film Festival, which led to her invitation to participate in the Critics’ Week at the Cannes Film Festival.

Her cinema is defined by an intimate, sensorial voice, a clear narrative drive, and a strong emotional connection. Today, Almendra brings this authorial sensibility into the world of advertising, crafting precise and honest narrative worlds that reflect the creative approach that defines her work.
