About

Hola! 👋 

I'm Milena, an Argentine film director, producer, and cinematographer. With a diverse background in commercials, narrative films, and documentaries, I am dedicated to creating content at the intersection of art and activism.

Growing up in Argentina, attending school in China, and now completing my education in the United States, I've been fortunate to immerse myself in rich cultural experiences. This exposure has cultivated a deep appreciation for the power of storytelling to unite people, provoke thought, and inspire change.

Currently based in Miami, I recently graduated from Ringling College of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film. Beyond my passion for filmmaking, I enjoy photography, immersing myself in cinema from around the world, and learning new languages.

Let's connect! Email me at milenamonterofilm@gmail.com for any work or collaboration opportunities.
