Priscilla Cordoba spent her earliest years in New York, New York before
moving to Miami, Florida with her family where she attended middle
school and eventually graduated from Westminster Christian School. She
moved from Miami in May 2003 to attend Brooks Institute of Photography
in Ventura, California. Since then, Priscilla produced and directed her
first short film, Phone Booth on Main Street, a 49-second thriller,
which premiered at the Los Angeles International Short Film Festival
and won an Honorable Mention at the Auburn Film Festival. Phone Booth
on Main St. went on to screen at the Boston Latino Film Festival and
internationally at the New Zealand Spirit Awards on December of 2005.
Priscilla was invited to take part in the Ann Taylor Commercial Spec
Competition by the LA Shorts Film Festival where her commercial was
screened before a documentary about Annie Leibowitz. Priscilla teamed
up with Torrey Schoerner to shoot the documentary short Medic 3, which
she produced and directed. Medic 3 followed the emergency response
personnel of Mammoth Mountain and premiered at the Beverly Hills Film
Festival in 2004. The short won the Student NOVA Achievement Award at
the Auburn Film Festival in Texas. In 2005 her short, Magenta Madness
was selected to screen at the Los Angeles International Short Film
Festival, marking her second year at the festival. She was awarded the
Film/Video Departmental Award of Excellence upon graduating from Brooks
Institute of Photography in early 2006. Her work was recently selected
to screen at the Hollywood Entertainment Museum hosted by the WOMEN IN
FILM foundation. Priscilla is continually influenced visually by
Miami's culture - the people, music, colors and energy with hints of
New York City's gotham-like darkness and suspense.
