}}Gigi Saul Guerrero (born February 27, 1990) is a Mexican-Canadian director and actress.[1][2] Variety described her as part of the new wave of Latino talent.[3]

She has been praised as one of the top, emerging directors in the Horror genre by Empire,[4] Dread Central,[5] Bloody Disgusting[6] and Creators.co.[7] In 2017, she directed the original web series La Quinceañera for Warner Bros.[8]

Career

Guerrero met two of her key collaborators, Cinematographer Luke Bramley and Producer Gordon Cheng, while studying film at Capilano University in 2009.[9] Guerrero and Bramley were in the same class and bonded over a shared love of horror while Cheng was in the year below them.[10] In 2011, they collaborated on her directorial debut, the short film Dead Crossing, about zombie border guards eating Mexicans crossing into the United States.[11] Guerrero stated she "loved" the overall experience of film school because it taught her how to be a professional.[10][2] She co-founded the production company Luchagore Productions along with Bramley, Cheng and Producer Raynor Shima in 2013.[9]

In 2014 she was asked to participate in the anthology series México Bárbaro.[12] It was the first short production made as Luchagore team and Guerrero's final film school project.[10] Her segment Dia de los Muertos premiered at the 2014 Etheria Film Night.[13] After viewing Dia de los Muertos, author Shane McKenzie approached Luchagore with adapting his novel, Muerte Con Carne.[2] That same year, Guerrero directed the adaptation of McKenzie's work, El Gigante, distributed in partnership with Raven Banner Entertainment.[14][15][16] The success of El Gigante led to it being adapted into a graphic comic in English and Japanese.[17] Two of her shorts, Slam and Testament, created as entries in film competitions Dead on Film and Phrike Film Fest respectively, picked up awards for Best Death (Testament) and Best Picture (Slam).[18]

Her music video, Paloma, was the opening video for 2015 Morbido Fest.[19] El Gigante featured at Melbourne's 2015 Monster Fest and Sydney's 2015 A Night of Horror International Film Festival and Won the Jury Award at the 2016 Macabre Faire Film Festival.[20] Her next short, Madre de Dios (starring Tristan Risk) received praise for its design and screened at the 2015 Fantasia International Film Festival.[21][22]

In 2016 she won the Artistic Innovation Award from Women in Film and Television Vancouver.[23] Also in 2016, she directed a segment, M is for Matador, for the horror anthology series ABCs of Death 2.5.[24]

In 2017, her short, Bestia, was praised for its style and more psychological horror.[25] Bestia won Best Short film at the Blood in the Snow Canadian Film Festival.[26]

Her next production, "Project Lucha", was a collaboration with one of Hollywood's biggest studios.[32] The story emerged from talks between McKenzie and Guerrero, centred around a girl who becomes a strong woman.[27] In October 2017, the project was revealed as La Quinceañera, a launch title for Stage 13, the digital content division for Warner Bros. Digital Networks.[28] Luchagore had pitched several ideas, one of which was La Quinceañera, after a development executive at Warner Bros. contacted Guerrero upon viewing El Gigante at a festival.[29] La Quinceañera features Mia Xitlali and Bertila Damas and held its World Premiere at the Morbido Film Festival on October 28.[8] It won the Golden Skull Award for Audience Favourite at the festival.[30] In 2018, La Quinceañera debuted on the Studio+ app for Canal+ territories.[31] In June 2018, it screened at Grauman's Chinese Theatre for the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival.[29] Dread Central praised La Quinceañerafor its characters, noting its depiction of strong women as leaders.[32]

Guerrero has written an upcoming video game for Capcom, to be announced in 2018.[26] In January 2018, she hosted the Vancouver Short Film Festival, which closed with a screening of Bestia.[33] She teaches directing at Vancouver Film School.[34]

In 2019, Variety selected her as one of the 10 Latinxs to Watch.[35] She is directing an episode of Into the Dark for Blumhouse and voices Vida in Super Monsters.[36]

La Quinceañera screened as part of the 2019 Vancouver Women in Film Festival.[37]

Personal

Guerrero was born in Mexico City, Mexico but immigrated to Vancouver, BC at the age of 13.[38][18] She grew up in White Rock, BC and graduated with Honors with a B.A. in Motion Picture Production from Capilano University.[1]

As a child, she stole a VHS of Child's Play from Blockbuster but was too scared to finish watching it.[39]

Guerrero is inspired by horror that is new and unique and believes that story is the most important element to a movie. She uses humour to ease tension. Her self-described style is, "gritty, gory" with a, "Tex-Mex" feel.[20] She cites seeing a rerelease of the Director’s cut of The Exorcist in theatres when she was nine as having an influence on her. Guerrero counts among her inspirations "The Three Amigos of Cinema" in addition to Robert Rodriguez, Rob Zombie and Quentin Tarantino.[40]
