Director Statement

As a first time filmmaker, Mojana will always hold a special place in my heart. I'm proud to have been able to reimagine this local folklore tale and film in beautiful Cartagena, Colombia, where this legend was born. I truly believe the magical spirit of this goddess was with the cast and crew for this film and it made for an amazing experience.
