Hi my name is Angela Lopez. I am a Guatemalan artist, born and raised in La. I am an actor, originally trained in theater but diving deeper into the film within the past few years. I am also a freelance model as well as a screenwriter. It was an indescribable experience to be able to be taught by working artists in a conservatory-style curriculum dedicated towards our major.
I was a theater major and was able to be taught and work with some of the most talented teachers, and actors schoolmates. I began writing around my junior year, first as a playwright. And although I continue to write plays, I write screenplays much more. I am lucky to have make friendships with other incredibly talented artists who to this day continue to work with one other.

I began modeling as a freshman in high school when visual artists from my school created a clothing brand and needed models for her website. I waited a while but then began modeling again as a college student. I hope to one day be signed to a modeling agent as well as an acting agent. I am currently co-producing a short film that I wrote. We are in pre-production about to start filming within the month. I feel extremely grateful to have the cast and crew that I have.
They are extremely helpful as this is my first time in the crew part of filmmaking. I am having the time of my life and truly feel blessed to be able to make art. Being an artist is a privilege. I actively wanna create art that is meaningful to me and my fellow artists in La.
A community of artists who stick together is one of the strongest things in my opinion. I began writing as a way to create roles I could see myself in. I began writing roles for myself when I noticed that there were not many roles I could see myself in. And I wanna actively in my career work at getting POC into the doors. Including myself but countless POC artists who are overlooked in the business in general. I would say no. I think that a lot of people, especially being at a predominantly white school you definitely see how everyone talks about opportunities differently.
