@andreavicunia What advise do you have for other women in the industry? My advice to woman in that industry would be to not settle for the stereotypes that we’re given. If you are an artist urging to tell your story don’t be scared because you’re a woman. I sit constantly in tables full of men, I’m normally the only woman there, but I’m still respected and still appreciated. Just walk in as an equal. I would recommend joining associations for women that are in your city because this industry can be really challenging; that way you can feel support from others and not feel alone!

@andreavicunia What is a successful moment in your career so far? My series regular role in Libres and in En Prácticas. Those have been the biggest presents for me; it’s so interesting to work on a character you have to portray in so many situations VS a day-player. I have felt accomplished and proud in those moments! I’m going to perform in The Comedy Store in a few weeks so that’s a BIG moment that I’m excited about! #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang #goals http://ow.ly/i/jaZFa

@andreavicunia What is your biggest concern with the future? As an artist I think it’s unavoidable to have a constant dilemma between pursuing your passion or not. My worry for a long time has been if I would make it eventually. Lately I feel like I haven’t been enjoying my passion as much as I would want to, but just thinking of a future without passion instantly makes me work harder. Make sense? I think too much…. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang #goals http://ow.ly/i/jaZEj

@andreavicunia What’s a defining moment in your life? That would be when in January 2013 I got a scholarship to LA to study acting. I had a few days to decide and 20 days later I left Spain (not Mexico) and I landed in LA. With a suitcase full of dreams (of meeting Brad Pitt. Damn you Angelina!) that allowed me to get my Visa as an actress! My life changed completely: I was now alone, 10,000 km away from all my family and friends and pursuing my dream. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang #goals http://ow.ly/i/jaZD3

@andreavicunia Why did you decide to work in this industry? I actually fell into the entertainment industry by casualty. I was studying Fine Arts when one of my friends told me he was going to audition for an Acting Course. I decided to join him and was selected to be part of it, soon after that I was part of the Theatre Company. We had to read Shakespeare, Chekhov and I immediately fell in love with Acting. If I think about it I already loved acting when I was a kid, my mom would ask me what my favorite subject was and I would say: “Christmas plays”. I’m in love with acting; I’m so passionate about human behavior, characters and exploring my limits. Life is so exciting with this job! #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang #goals http://ow.ly/i/jaZBO

@unclejohnproductions: What, if anything, do you collect? Memories. I want the experience way more than I want any possession. I think acting and film-making may be an extension of this because they allow me to create or re-create memorable moments. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang #goals http://ow.ly/i/jaZxW

@unclejohnproductions: What advise do you have for other women in the industry? First, I would say, take initiative. Don’t wait for someone to say yes, help you, or make it easier for you. By taking action you will empower yourself, learn a lot and inspire people to want to work with you. Second, don’t worry about starting small, failing or what anyone else thinks. It doesn’t negate your efforts, they will pay off. Third, don’t make being a ‘woman’ in the biz a hurdle to overcome. It’s an asset! I hear the statement ‘women in the biz don’t help each other’ get thrown around a lot. I think it’s a lie people say to keep us down. I’ve never once experienced it to be true. I’ve worked with some fantastic women in front of and behind the camera, all who’ve been nothing but supportive and helpful. So let’s stop repeating this statement and ones like it and start repeating the ones about how awesome we ALL are! #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang #goals http://ow.ly/i/jaZwF

@unclejohnproductions: What is a successful moment in your career so far? I recently produced my first feature, BONED, which I also star in. It’s been a long process and I’ve had to wear many hats, but it is finally all paying off. We secured distribution with the company we most wanted and are releasing on iTunes on April 12th. The whole process has been extremely challenging and extremely rewarding. If you like quirky comedies, please check it out and let me know what you think: https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/boned/id1091152711 I can’t wait to do another one! #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang #goals http://ow.ly/i/jaZvd

@unclejohnproductions: What is your biggest concern with the future? At the moment, my biggest concerns are political. I’m terrified about what could happen in this election, and what it could mean for this country and for women. I’ve been wondering how hard it would be for me to move and produce indie projects in England…. #thereelwomen #girlboss #women #womenoflight #picoftheday #photooftheday #female #love #film #television #TV #media #art #FilmEquality #womeninfilm #femalefilmmakers #empoweringwomen #womenempower #betterhollywood #womendirect #girl #movies #movielover #create #me #happy #ladyboss #bosslady #girlgang #goals http://ow.ly/i/jaZu3
