CARLA TROCONIS
Director | Producer
I’m a Venezuelan-American immigrant filmmaker who’s passionate about crafting stories that expand, not flatten, images of the Latine community, particularly the Venezuelan diaspora. In my work, I grapple with all the paradoxes, struggles, and joy experienced by those in marginalized communities. I’m interested in stories that explore diaspora with nuance and approach emotions with fantastical and surrealist approaches.
After graduating cum laude from Harvard in 2019, I cut my teeth in the media business (Zuckerberg Media Chief of Staff, Pinwheel Productions CEO) before leaving to direct and produce full time. I’ve worked as a director and producer with musical artists like Marcus Mumford, Quarters of Change, Joshuah Campbell, and Mint Green; commercial partners like Spectrum, Rag & Bone, Dole, Playbill, and Biden / Harris 2020; and with agencies like Adolescent Content, AB Partners, and L&C. I’ve produced and directed short films that have been accepted to national film festivals, such as the Los Angeles Latinx Film Festival, the New York City Independent Film Festival, and the Latino Film Market. As a theatrical director and producer, I’ve participated in programs like 24H Play Nationals and exhibited work at The Tank, Theater Row, WP Theater, and Zoo Venues (2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival).
