Génesis De Castro has been passionate for the performing and visual arts since she was a young girl. She established in L.A. in 2021 to pursue a career in acting. She’s currently attending her last semester at Stella Adler's Art of Acting Studio Professional Conservatory program. Recent theatrical work include Foolish Production Co.'s adaptation of Yerma by Federico Garcia Lorca performed at The Broadwater Los Angeles with an all-female ensemble, Shakespeare's Cymbeline and Annie Baker's Circle Mirror Transformation at Art of Acting Studio.
She can also be seen on the indie short films Ultimatum by Adriana Ortiz and Below Garbage by Quinn Quinlan.
Her student short film shot in Puerto Rico, Una Escapadita (A Night Out), was critically acclaimed by her college community, presenting two years in a row at Caribbean Cinemas Fine Arts Miramar and became an official selection in 2019 for the Official Latino Film Festival, now known as NVISION Latino Film and Music Festival for the international short film category. This nomination ultimately gave Génesis the impulse to establish in Los Angeles.
Génesis holds a B.A in Communications with a major in Film Production from the Universidad del Sagrado Corazón, Puerto Rico. In Spring 2018 she attended NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts as part of an exchange program where she cultivated a deeper and clearer vision of her career in the arts.
Additionally, she has 3 years of experience as a production assistant, working on various feature films, tv shows, music videos and commercials. Some of her work include Executive Assistance for American Idol, APOC in VH1’s Black Ink Crew Compton, production assistance in Hillary Clinton’s Apple TV+ Docuseries Gutsy Women, costume assistance in Gina Yei for Disney+ Latin America, and Midnight in the Switchgrass, directed by Randall Emmett, as art assistant.
