We were lucky to catch up with Dalma Daniela recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Dalma, thanks for joining us today. What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?
Lime & Vinegar, the first movie I produced, is perhaps the most meaningful project I’ve worked on for a couple of reasons.
First off, I understood that more than being a creative, I’m a person who makes things happen.
I used to wonder why no one would just come running towards me, offering me a shot even though I was working so hard for it. I was very upset about that. I used to say, “Do I have to make everything happen on my own?” And the answer is yes. No one is coming to save you. And you know what? That’s okay. Making things happen is a superpower, and producing is the kind of thing no one can really teach you in college. You either have it or you don’t. Trust me, you can create a thousand spreadsheets full of budget lists, casting breakdowns, all of it. But if you don’t know how to intoxicate everyone with the energy of the project’s soul, the work is never fully done.
That’s why this feature film is so meaningful to me. It confirmed that my best creative work is not acting or singing… it’s helping put the pieces together.
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 like to think of myself as a creative problem solver. Whether I’m acting, singing, creating a social media strategy, or producing viral videos for brands, resourcefulness and a “yes, we can” mindset are what I bring to the table.
I love doing things for the first time because it allows me to tackle unique challenges by transferring skills from other industries I’ve worked in.
Everything is connected, especially marketing and art. All marketing strategies and concepts are designed to mimic human behavior, and art is how humans make sense of the world and their reality. What sets me apart from other artists and digital marketing professionals is my ability to create content, characters, songs, videos, and films that are as marketable as they are authentically imbued with purpose.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?
Breaking walls, opening doors, and shattering windows for people who think like me, look like me, sound like me, and are still hopeless dreamers like me.
If you think you can’t, I want to be proof that you can through my journey.
If you think you must stay quiet, watch me yell the truth out loud.
If you think you can’t change the system, watch me go around rigged structures, calling them out and asking for explanations.
By embracing my emotional, angry, moody, hungry authenticity, I hope others realize that they can embrace theirs too. After all, that’s what we were called to do in life: become who we are.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being a creative is the catharsis that comes from expressing yourself through any form of art. As artists, we must never take that ability for granted.
