​Sienna Serrano is a Mexican-American director, writer, and choreographer (and dancer if she's stretched enough beforehand) who explores her Latin culture and San Gabriel Valley roots through film, dance, and theatre.

​

She focuses on crafting stories centered around strong, multidimensional Latina characters and unique, marginalized individuals inspired by her family, friends, and the interesting people living in the 626.​

​

Sienna’s artistic style floats between comedic narrative (award-winning documentary short film “A Bear-Able Life”) and experimental (award-winning dance film “the hell inside my mind”) ... and when she can’t decide, sometimes a mix of those two (experimental narrative short film “Call Your Mom”)! Regardless, her films have been screened at film festivals and Universities nationwide. 

​

Due to her work, Sienna's been blessed with opportunities such as the 2021 National Women’s Theater WTFringe Lab Fellowship, 2022 Breath of Fire Latina Theater Ensemble “The Covid Monologues” novel co-writer, the 2023 Women of Color Filmmaker’s Lab Fellowship, and a 2024 Unlock Her Potential mentorship under Emmy-nominated creator/showrunner, Ilana Peña (Diary of a Future President).

​

Most recently, Sienna completed an Observership with Center Theatre Group Los Angeles on the world premiere of "Fake It Until You Make It," by Larissa FastHorse and directed by Michael John Garcés.

​

Currently, Sienna is a 2025 director fellow under the Alliance of Women Directors #MentorLatinaDirectors Fellowship, mentored by DGA Director and Professor, Dr. Rachel Raimist (BEL AIR).

However... Aside from all that fun, you may catch this UC Irvine alum at home reading a slow burn romance (while taking breaks scrolling on TikTok), going for a run outside (when she has decided she needs to touch grass), lifting at the gym quoting "I'm tired of this grandpa!" in between sets, and/or taking a dance class when she (again) finally feels stretched enough for it.
