SCARLETT
hello@scarletturbano.com
I’m a Mexican American freelance filmmaker, photographer and video editor with a passion for storytelling, based between California, London, and Germany.
With 10+ years of experience in writing, directing, producing, and editing, I am dedicated to create content that resonates deeply, inspired by the power of stories to connect and empower.
Having worked as a creative in different industries, I’ve found that I’m particularly drawn to projects that explore themes of personal growth and inner exploration—stories that foster empathy, spark reflection, and make people feel seen.

Work & Philosophy
As a Mexican American, I’ve often found myself in the in-between—immersed in both cultures, yet observing from the sidelines. This duality has shaped my search for identity, guiding me to choose which parts of each culture I embrace and which I set aside. This perspective brings depth and empathy to my work, allowing me to tell stories that navigate a sense of fracture, belonging, and the strength to find one’s own voice.
Just as heritage shapes my creative work, so does queerness. The film industry often reduces queer stories to surface portrayals, missing the depth of our experiences and inner journeys. With my future projects, I am driven to go beyond this—to explore the internal landscapes of queer identity and the layers of cultural, societal, and familial expectations that shape our paths.
In today’s political climate, I want to create stories that empower queer people from diverse backgrounds, focusing not only on representation, but on authenticity that resonates and connects.
Let me help you tell your story.

If you have the opportunity to work with Scarlett, I absolutely recommend that you do. She is an absolute joy and so very great at what she does.”
