A course by Mariana Arriaga y Santiago Arriaga
Mariana Arriaga and Santiago Arriaga are siblings and codirectors. They grew up in a family of storytellers who instilled in them the desire to tell stories. They both studied communication and cinema, and at the end of their studies they codirected their first short films. It was from there that they decided to found the production house Memento Mori Films, where they made short films, fashion films, music videos, commercials, and experimental pieces.
Their short films have been selected for the Ariel Awards, the Morelia International Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival, LA Shorts, the Guanajuato International Film Festival, and the Kustendorf Film Festival, among others.
After five years, they decided to leave their production company as a creative label to focus on film projects. They are currently working on their first feature film—Cielo Abierto.
