About Catalina

A woman with sunglasses smiling behind a large reflector in an outdoor setting with hills and greenery under a clear blue sky.

I’ve been in love with the medium of filmmaking since I was 16. There's a certain awakening that happens when we look at art, but most especially when we make art. After years as a Director of Photography on narrative films, documentaries, and commercials, learning how light works, how people move, how technical cameras are build to the best editing workflow — I built Catalina Parra Films to bring that level of craft to every project I take on.
