Yurema Perez-Hinojosa is a New York-based filmmaker, writer, and producer with a wide breadth of experience across shorts, features, and social content. As the proud daughter of Mexican and Dominican immigrants, her work explores migration and reimagines selfhood through intimate narratives and bold, experimental approaches.

A Brown University graduate, Yurema's thesis film Estrella (2020) emerged from her correspondence with Estrella Gonzales, a currently incarcerated, undocumented, trans-Mexican woman, creating an experimental, semi-biographical narrative tracing Estrella's journey of self-creation. She has since contributed to In the Heights (2021) and worked as a field videographer for Latino USA, editor and producer for Bulletin by Meta, and served as a creative force behind high-impact reels and social content for award-winning journalists and authors, and Associate Producer at Aubin Pictures on a feature documentary exploring Hindu nationalism in India, which was acquired by PBS for North American broadcast.

Currently developing a short documentary following an undocumented NYC street vendor, and a horror script, Sangre Nueva, which uses cannibalistic metaphors to expose class inequality, Yurema's mission remains constant: amplifying underrepresented voices and expanding how we tell stories.
