Biography

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.
