Marinthia Gutiérrez is a filmmaker from Tijuana, Mexico. She graduated from the UCLA Theater, Film, and Television School in 2018 with a Bachelor’s in Film, emphasizing in narrative directing. 

 

Marinthia is drawn to tell stories that are character-driven and introspective in an almost surreal way, visualizing raw emotions through highly stylized images. Her tone can be described as atmospheric magical realism. 

​

Marinthia's horror-dance short film, “Ella se queda” (She stays), is the recipient of the 2022 Standard Fantastic Fellowship and will premiere in 2024. She most recently debuted her first commercial, "The Dinner", a branded short film for Gia Coppola Wine.
