Ep. 064 | ALBA GIL - on Directing, Netflix's Triada, and Valuing All Your Work Along the Way
Description
In this episode, we chat with Alba Gil, an amazing director and filmmaker whose journey is nothing short of inspiring. She shares how she moved to Canada from Mexico with a background in advertising and had to start from scratch in Montreal. From working as an assistant director to production manager to finally becoming a director, her story is all about resilience and determination.
We talk about some of her big moments—like her directing debut while breastfeeding her five-month-old baby (with a super supportive team behind her!) and how a trip back to Mexico for a female directors’ panel changed everything. That trip reconnected her with her roots, and before she knew it, she was working on Netflix’s Triada.
She also opens up about navigating a male-dominated industry, finding her authentic leadership style, and the internal work it took to trust herself, think big, and take bold chances.
It’s a story of embracing who you are, breaking barriers, and carving your own path. Let's get into it!
