Director Biography - Elena De Aras

Audiovisual Communication student (University of Seville). They began creating audiovisual projects at a young age, experimenting with video editing and montage as a hobby. In 2019, they directed their first music video for the single "Crawling Back To You" by Mauricio Buendía, which led to further projects and strengthened their connection with short films. By 2023, they gained significant momentum, participating in Ubrique de Cine with 'Milagrosa' as an assistant director. In March, they founded the youth audiovisual collective "Límite" to participate in the III Edition of Castilblanco y ¡Acción!.

Their notable achievements include directing 'Y nosotros también' for the DHRueda competition, which won five awards: Best Direction, Best Script, Best Integrated Slogan, Best Revelation Short Film, and Second Prize Overall. They also directed, wrote, and edited 'Philm' during the 36-hour rally at the Mairena Creativa competition, earning the award for Best Script.

Their latest projects include 'Durmiente' by María Gómez, where they worked as Production Director. This short film was part of the latest edition of the Rodando Por Jaén festival, featuring a cast that includes Lorca Prada ('El universo de Óliver'), Manué Rodríguez, and Marta Hoyos ('La chica invisible'). Another project, 'Pepita Petanca', co-directed with Alejandro Mateos, won Best Cinematography at Guadalcanal en corto.

The short film 'Ratería' marked a new exploration of genres and the portrayal of characters from an age range different from those they had previously worked with.
