Rachel Lears is a filmmaker, musician, and writer based in Brooklyn, NY. She holds an PhD in cultural anthropology and an MA in ethnomusicology from New York University, a BA in music from Yale University, and she studied documentary production as part of NYU’s Program in Culture and Media. In 2005, she received a Fulbright grant to Uruguay for the production of the documentary Birds of Passage, and her doctoral research on media and cultural policy in Uruguay was supported by grant from Fulbright-Hays and the American Council of Learned Societies/ Mellon Foundation. Her video art piece Ethnography of No Place (2008), created with visual artist Saya Woolfalk, has screened in galleries, museums and festivals around the world. In 2008-10, she served as Managing Editor of e-misférica, the online journal of the Hemispheric Institute for Performance and Politics. Currently she is wrapping post-production as writer/producer on a new feature documentary, Gods and Kings, about mask, media and magic in the Guatemalan highlands, and beginning production on another new feature about a group of immigrant workers at a New York bagel cafe chain who are forming their own, independent union—the first of its kind in US history.
Martín Ubillos has worked as producer and line producer for Uruguay’s most important production companies, including Metrópolis Films, El Camino Films, Paris Texas Casa Productora, Transparente Films, Flenher Films (based in Argentina), among others. With El Camino Filmshe formed part of the Uruguayan production team of Blindness, a feature film by Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles (City of God). Currently, he is part of the Metropolis Films production team.
