Silvia Lara is a filmmaker born in Mexico and raised back and forth in both Mexico and Los Angeles. Much like the elders in her family who upheld oral traditions particularly for the children’s sake, Silvia is a lifelong storyteller who fortunately discovered that her passion for photography and story exist harmoniously within the field of cinematography. As a result, narrative filmmaking is Silvia's forté and in her work, she strives to visually map the ebbs and flows in emotion and tone provided by the script in order to depict as honest a portrayal of the human condition as possible.
