MÓNICA
MATEO
As a child, she wanted to be a veterinarian, a vegetarian, and have a zoo at home.
There was only one thing she loved as much as animals: watching movies on repeat until she memorized the dialogues. It didn’t matter whether it was The Exorcist, The Little Mermaid, or Terminator 2. Of course, she always wanted to be Sarah Connor.
She started in audiovisual production as a production manager, gaining experience on all kinds of shoots and learning from the ground up—something that would later help her develop her own projects.
A lover of fantasy, horror, and science fiction cinema, her short films have been screened at festivals like Leeds, Fantasporto, Imagine, Grossmann, Abertoir, Fantaspoa, and Mórbido, winning international awards at festivals such as Buffalo Dreams, Nightmares, Boca Do Inferno, and Berlin Sci-fi. Methodical, creative, hardworking, demanding, and perfectionist, she fully commits herself to everything she does.
For her, any project (no matter how modest) can be BIG.
