Maria Betania Fernandez

Producer Maria B. Fernandez is a native of Argentina, raised in the diverse city of Miami and currently based in Los Angeles. In 2012, Fernandez began her career in media consulting for Television networks on social and digital strategy for their Intellectual Property and branded content. During that time, Fernandez produced on an array of different shows ranging from reality and documentary to scripted series for Telemundo, Univision, NBC, Discovery and others. Fernandez has extensive experience crafting content for Latin American and US Hispanic audiences and understands the cultural and emotional differences amongst the subcultures. In 2015, Fernandez funded Eclectic Media in Miami and shifted her focus from strategy to developing IP and producing beyond digital. From there, Fernandez went on to produce on her first scripted feature film entitled VANDAL. Inspired by true stories, Vandal is an authentic drama about art, love, war and the depths of the street graffiti world. Vandal stars a predominantly Hispanic cast of both up and coming and established Hollywood stars. Since living in LA, Fernandez has been dedicated to working with writers and producers to develop, create and execute film, digital and television projects independent of form or platform. Fernandez's passion is to bring stories to life that transcend culture, race and gender and as a result evoke emotion and inspiration to audiences.
