About

Sonny Alejandra, a Mexican filmmaker and content creator based in Europe, earned her Bachelor's degree in Studio Art from Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, Georgia. Her work has garnered recognition in international exhibitions and publications across the United States, Europe, Latin America, and Asia.

Drawing from her academic background and an artistic sensibility, Sonny has played an integral role in various film productions and creative projects, contributing her unique perspective and skills. Her work is marked by an affinity for the intriguing aesthetics and imagery often found in the creations of her favorite writers, painters, photographers, and cinematographers. Also, her experiences as an immigrant living in different countries have not only enriched her worldview but also deeply influenced the narrative of her creative journey.
