Emily Mazariegos

Emily Yaceni Mazariegos León, originally from

Puerto Barrios, Izabal, and currently residing in

Guatemala City, is a filmmaker passionate about visual

art and cinematic storytelling. Since 2021, she has

found in cinema a powerful tool to explore the

complexity of the human condition, particularly

through the genres of crime, drama, and suspense.

Emily is in her final year of the Bachelor’s degree in

Film, Visual Arts, and Entrepreneurship at

Universidad Francisco Marroquín, an institution

where she has developed her passion for art direction,

makeup, costume design, and film production.

Additionally, she has complemented her education

with studies in digital marketing and e-commerce

strategies, aiming to integrate the power of

storytelling with the advertising field.

During her university career, she has worked on

various film projects such as:

– To Hell and Back, Guatemala (2,022) -Monarca, Guatemala (2,023)

– Nóstos, Guatemala (2,023)

– El Silencio del Pa’bank Guatemala (2,024)

– Mañana será otro día, Guatemala (2,024)

– Al filo del cielo, Guatemala (2,025)

– Los de la lucha, Guatemala (2,025)

She has stood out mainly in the art department,

makeup, and sound direction. Her ability to

conceptualize and execute aesthetic proposals has

enriched the visual impact of her projects. She has also

collaborated on advertising productions for brands

like Dorada Ice, Distefano, and the beverage Karma.

Ice, Distefano y la bebida Karma.

Her most notable project to date is Briella, a short film

that explores the loss of innocence as a result of

violence in Guatemala and other Latin American

countries. Briella tells the story of a young girl facing

the tragedy of her parents’ kidnapping, her uncle’s

murder, and the process of adapting to a solitary and

violent reality.

Emily is the founder of Emmarea Studios, a creative

space where she brings her artistic vision to life in

audiovisual and photographic projects. Additionally,

her interest in digital marketing has led her to

strengthen her presence on social media platforms like

TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch, where she shares

creative and personal content under the name

“emmaltesse”.
