In this episode, we chat with Alba Gil, an amazing director and filmmaker whose journey is nothing short of inspiring. She shares how she moved to Canada from Mexico with a background in advertising and had to start from scratch in Montreal. From working as an assistant director to production manager to finally becoming a director, her story is all about resilience and determination.

We talk about some of her big moments—like her directing debut while breastfeeding her five-month-old baby (with a super supportive team behind her!) and how a trip back to Mexico for a female directors’ panel changed everything. That trip reconnected her with her roots, and before she knew it, she was working on Netflix’s Triada.

She also opens up about navigating a male-dominated industry, finding her authentic leadership style, and the internal work it took to trust herself, think big, and take bold chances.

It’s a story of embracing who you are, breaking barriers, and carving your own path. Let's get into it!
