​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.

​

Sienna 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.​

​

Her work, such as the award-winning documentary short film “A Bear-Able Life”, experimental narrative short film “Call Your Mom”, and (also) award-winning dance film “the hell inside my mind”, has screened across the nation and garnered many laughs and tears along the way.

​

Due to her work, Sienna has been blessed with opportunities such as the 2021 National Women’s Theater WTFringe Lab Fellowship, a writer for the 2022 Breath of Fire Latina Theater Ensemble “The Covid Monologues” novel, 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 Group Theatre Los Angeles on the world premiere of "Fake It Until You Make It," written 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.
