Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Bea Del Pozo. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Bea, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s jump to the end – what do you want to be remembered for?
When I think about the legacy I hope to leave behind, it’s not about fame or accolades, it’s about impact. I want to be remembered as someone who told stories that mattered, stories that made people feel seen, understood, and connected. Through my films, I want to explore themes of vulnerability, resilience, and empathy, encouraging others to look at life, and each other with a little more compassion.
I hope people will say that I approached storytelling with authenticity and heart, always striving to highlight the voices and experiences that often go unnoticed. Beyond my work, I want to be remembered as someone who was deeply thoughtful and cared about the people around me, someone who lifted others up and created spaces where collaboration and creativity thrived.
I’d love for my legacy to extend beyond my career, too. Maybe people will remember me as someone who wasn’t afraid to laugh at herself, embrace chaos, and find joy in the small things. I hope to be a source of inspiration for others to follow their passions, take risks, and be unapologetically themselves.
Ultimately, I hope my life is a reminder that stories, whether on screen or in person, have the power to heal, connect, and transform. And if I can leave the world just a little better, a little kinder, because of the work I’ve done, then that would be enough.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
I’m Bea del Pozo, a filmmaker and storyteller born and raised in León, Spain, now living in Los Angeles. From a young age, I’ve been passionate about storytelling and the power of cinema to connect people and evoke strong emotions. Movies were my first love, and that love grew into a career path when I pursued a bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Cinema and Screen Studies. I started my studies in Spain and later transferred to a university in New York, where I discovered my passion for screenwriting, cinematography, and directing.
After graduating, I realized I wanted to focus even more on film as my creative journey. That’s what brought me to Los Angeles to pursue my master’s degree in Film Production, where I’ve been able to deepen my skills in directing, producing, budgeting, and distribution. Along the way, I’ve worked on a wide variety of projects, from short films to documentaries, and learned that filmmaking is just as much about collaboration and problem-solving as it is about storytelling.
Right now, I’m in post-production on Solo, a short film that explores the inner conflict of a young priest questioning his faith. It’s a deeply personal story about doubt, identity, and acceptance, and I’m excited for audiences to experience it. I’m also working on Walking in Circles, which is in the script stage. This project is inspired by a real story from my hometown, and it’s about uncovering the truth behind systemic neglect in elderly care. It’s an emotional and challenging story, but one that I believe needs to be told.
Another film I’m especially proud of is Behind the Pink Door, which explores the realities of sorority hazing. That project has won multiple awards, and it reminded me how powerful cinema can be in sparking meaningful conversations around important topics.
While directing is my favorite thing to do, I’ve also discovered a passion for producing. Every project I produce aligns with my vision and the messages I strive to communicate through my work, stories that explore the human experience, highlight social issues, or encourage empathy and connection. Producing allows me to help other creators bring their ideas to life while staying true to these values.
In addition to my work in film, I’m drawn to the world of music. I dream of working on music videos that combine powerful storytelling with the energy and artistry of the music industry. It’s another way for me to create emotionally resonant visuals and explore the intersection of two art forms I’m deeply passionate about.
At the heart of everything I do is the belief that stories have the power to change lives. Whether I’m directing, producing, or developing new ideas, I’m committed to creating work that makes people feel, think, and connect. I’m excited to see where this journey takes me, and I hope my films and creative collaborations leave a lasting impact, not just as entertainment, but as a way of bringing people closer to each other and to themselves.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
For me, the most rewarding aspect of being an artist is the ability to create something that connects with people on an emotional level. There’s nothing quite like the moment when someone watches a film I’ve worked on and tells me it made them feel seen, understood, or even inspired. Storytelling is such a powerful tool for empathy, and being able to spark those emotions or start conversations through my work is incredibly fulfilling.
As a filmmaker, I also love the collaborative nature of the process. There’s something magical about bringing together a group of talented people, each with their own skills and perspectives, to create something bigger than any one person could accomplish alone. Every project feels like building a small community, and seeing how everyone’s contributions come together to tell a story is truly rewarding.
On a personal level, being an artist allows me to explore and express parts of myself that I might not be able to in any other way. It’s a way of processing the world around me, asking questions, and seeking answers. Whether it’s through a deeply personal project or a story inspired by real events, I feel like I’m not just sharing my voice, I’m also growing as a person with every project I undertake.
Ultimately, the most rewarding part is knowing that what I create has the potential to make a difference, whether it’s by giving someone a moment of reflection, bringing awareness to an issue, or simply making them feel something. That’s what keeps me inspired to keep creating.
Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative?
One thing I think non-creatives often struggle to understand about the journey as a creative is how much of yourself you pour into your work, not just time and effort, but your emotions, personal experiences, and vulnerabilities. It’s not just a job or a task; it’s a part of who you are. When I’m working on a film or developing a project, I’m not just telling a story, I’m sharing a piece of myself, and that can be both exhilarating and exhausting.
Another aspect that’s often misunderstood is the level of uncertainty and risk involved. As a creative, there’s no clear path or guaranteed outcome. Projects can take years to come to life, and even then, success is subjective and fleeting. You have to be okay with ambiguity and trust the process, which can be hard for people who are used to more structured or predictable careers to grasp.
I think there’s also a misconception that creativity is all fun and inspiration, when in reality, it’s a lot of discipline, problem-solving, and perseverance. There are days when the ideas flow effortlessly, but there are just as many days when it feels like an uphill battle, rewriting the same scene for the tenth time or finding creative solutions to budget constraints.
But perhaps the most challenging thing for non-creatives to understand is how personal the stakes feel. When you put your work out into the world, it’s not just a product, it’s a reflection of your ideas, your beliefs, your heart. The vulnerability of sharing that can be daunting, but it’s also what makes it so meaningful.
For anyone who might benefit from this insight, I’d say that being a creative requires a deep well of passion, resilience, and belief in your vision. It’s not always easy, but when someone connects with what you’ve made, when you see your work spark emotion or thought in someone else, it’s worth every challenge. That’s the magic of this journey, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
