In 2019, she premiered her first film, Las buenas intenciones, which participated in the Toronto International Film Festival, San Sebastián International Film Festival, and Mar del Plata International Film Festival.[1]
In 2022, she won the award for best direction[4] in the international competition of the Mar del Plata International Film Festival with her second feature film, La Uruguaya, based on the novel of the same name by Pedro Mairal. This is the first production of Orsai Audiovisuales. To carry out the production of the film, thousands of people collectively organized to finance it and thus become "producing partners", making aesthetic and artistic decisions and participating in the entire process from the very beginning.
