Available to hire
Hi! I’m Yasmin Angel, a passionate director and author with over 15 years of experience creating films that blend documentary and fiction with experimental and fantastical elements. Born in Bogotá, Colombia, and now based in Germany, I love crafting stories that are deeply humanistic, working closely with my team and the people I portray to bring fresh and inspiring projects to life.
I hold degrees in Visual Communication and Film from leading institutions in Hamburg and Cologne, and my films have screened at some fantastic international festivals. Currently, I’m focused on developing new film projects independently and bringing meaningful stories to audiences worldwide.
