Madeline Tello

Greatest Hits:

• Created documentary film Reel Women

• Film internship in Chile

• Ballet and Mexican folkloric dancer

Future Goals:

Be a driving force to bring a greater amount of diversity to the film industry and create work that inspires more women of color to pursue a life in the arts, as well as to advocate for their unique stories.

“As a feminist, I believe that women have a right to the same opportunities and respect that are available to men. I hope that discriminatory norms that are embedded in our culture—such as the wage gap and lack of policies that support paid maternity leave—will be left behind by future generations.”
