Diego Andrés Murillo

Diego Andrés Murillo - Director, Writer, Editor, Producer known for his work in such projects: «I Have No Mouth, Yet I Must Scream» (2026),

Artist/self-taught filmmaker: director, writer, editor, producer. Born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. Graduated from both Media Studies (Andres Bello Catholic University) and Digital photography (Roberto Mata School). In 2016 I migrated from my native country out of necessity and unexpectedly stayed in NYC when an opportunity appeared, it has been my home for the past 9 years. To combat diasporic conditions, I co-founded EL FANTASMA, a Venezuelan film collective/studio that now has over ten premiered shorts and two completed features.

My films usually entail speculative fictions that tackle topics such as individual/collective migration (Venezuelan), dystopian imaginations, historical re-imagining, and repressed desires, emotions & malaises as consequences of political/collective environments. These works have screened and won awards at film festivals including Locarno, Brussels, Sitges, Cinélatino Toulouse, Tacoma Film Festival, Brooklyn Film Festival, Uruguay Film Festival, Chicago Latino FF, among others. I’m a recipient of the Jerome Production Grant and the Venezuelan National Film Fund, and I have participated in programs such as Locarno Open Doors, Locarno Spring Academy, Tres Puertos Lab and the CineQuaNon Residency. I was recently an invited artist at the University of Iowa Cinematic Arts department.
