berenicé brino

Berenicé Brino is a filmmaker born in the Dominican Republic and raised in Miami. Working in both documentary and narrative forms, her films explore intergenerational relationships, memory, and identity, often framed against the backdrop of migration, cultural inheritance, and systems of power.

Her debut film, Te Amo Tanto Pero Eres Tan Dificíl, was developed through Third Horizon’s Forward Fellowship (2022) and had its world premiere at True/False Film Festival (2025). Her work has been supported by the Knight Foundation and JustFilms Ford Foundation.

Brino's practice is rooted in bending genre and form, using principles from her theatre background to inform her cinematic approach. Through immersive staging, choreographed movement, and heightened realism, she explores the tension between performance and authenticity, creating films that exist between the poetic and the visceral.

She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from New World School of the Arts. Previously, she worked at Jax Media in NYC and Topple Productions in LA. She now serves as Head of Development at Easy Mondays, where she continues to champion bold, boundary-pushing storytelling.
