How It All Started

A Latina and California native, Ambra writes about kick-ass women. Knowing her great grandfather rode with Pancho Villa during the Mexican revolution, what else would you expect?

Naturally curious and a bit of a wiseass, Ambra loves to play with the typical story 

structure of TV and Film while also staying true to the genre. To her, it's most important to get across what she wants the audience to feel in each scene so they connect with the characters in such a deep way, it’s like they know them.

Ambra had her first female centered story published in third grade after winning a writing contest. From then on, she was hooked. Growing up, she never saw many films with a strong female protagonist, certainly not any who looked like her, so it's important she create stories that inspire women of all ages to step into their power. 

Like her great-grandfather before her, Ambra packed up her life on the back of  a horse-well, her car- and moved to Los Angeles with a leap of faith and a dream. She’s since worked on several independent projects in various roles, from 1st AD to Director to Floor Manager on a local hospital show and short films, including the award-winning Fragile Storm and Killer Friends. Her set experience influences her writing, allowing her to understand what works, what doesn’t and what is yet to be done.

An architect of emotion, her storytelling digs down to your soul, leaving a lasting impact long after you've finished watching. Building worlds where women shine is what brings her the most joy in her writing.

No stranger to smashing barriers and kicking ass herself, you can usually find Ambra out-lifting most of the guys at the gym, doting on her nieces and nephews or arguing with her seven pound yorkie, who identifies as a pitbull.
