Priscilla González Sainz is an award-winning writer and filmmaker who specializes in non-fiction media. As a first-generation American, she is interested in exploring themes of displacement, identity, and transnationalism in my work. She seeks to tell stories that call social and political barriers into question by depicting shared human needs and experiences. Priscilla earned her MFA in Documentary Film and Video from Stanford University, where she was awarded a Stanford Arts grant and curated the Latin American Cinema series Espejos. Her thesis film Room 140 was a Student Academy Award Semifinalist and was nominated for the IDA Wolper Student Documentary Achievement Award. Her documentary Status Pending (2020) was supported by the IF/Then Shorts Program at Tribeca Film Institute and NALIP.
