SHARON ARTEAGA

Sharon attended the University of Texas at Austin and a few years later received her bachelor's degree in Film. While in school she produced a short film, "Duplex”, which won the Shorts Competition at the Binational Film Festival in El Paso, Texas. Her Undergraduate Thesis, "hands", was a finalist in New York's Faith Film Festival. Her next film, "When I Grow Up" won the 2010 Texas Archive of the Moving Image Award at Cine Las Americas and was chosen out of 900+ films to tour the US and Canada with LUNAFEST, a film festival that raises funds for breast cancer research and other charities.

Sharon’s film “Trapitos Sucios (Dirty Laundry)” played at Cine Las Americas in Austin, TX and the Inaugural Latina Short Film Festival in Ventura County, CA. She as well directed three music video's for the Austin musician Mandy Sloan. Sharon is currently in post-production for my next short, "Plane Pretend," a story about a little girl's first flight into a new country. The film was awarded the highest monetary Austin Film Society Grant that a short film received in 2015. My first feature film “I Scream, You Scream” is currently in development. Sharon was a winner of the 2014 NALIP Media Summit Video Challenge.
