Let’s be honest: we glorify the hustle, but rarely talk about what it costs.

Hollywood celebrates the “overnight success,” but not the 10 years of quiet persistence it takes to get there. And too often, the women shaping the stories we love are still fighting for a seat at the table.

That’s why I started talking.

Not for clicks, not for clout, but to bring humanity, transparency, and connection back to an industry that can feel impossible to break into.

Because when we pull back the curtain, we make room for everyone.

Authentic storytelling meets professional insight.

Carolina’s work lives at the intersection of entertainment, leadership, and human connection. 

Whether she’s interviewing top creators on Angle on Producers or moderating a panel at Cannes, her mission is the same: to make people feel seen, inspired, and equipped to tell their own stories.

Here’s how she brings that mission to life:

  • Speaking & Moderation

    Thought-provoking panels, keynotes, and fireside chats that spark meaningful dialogue across film, media, and culture.

  • Podcast: Angle on Producers

    Honest, inside-Hollywood conversations about what producing really looks like, and what it means to lead with integrity.

  • Substack & Community

    Essays, resources, workshops, mixers, and insider knowledge that help creatives balance ambition with authenticity and carve their own path in the industry.

Because the future of entertainment isn’t about fame. It’s about humanity.

Here’s What You’ll Find Here

Conversations with Substance.

No fluff, honest insight from someone who’s lived it and who isn’t afraid to ask tough questions.

A Space That Feels Safe and Electric.

Carolina knows how to draw out stories that matter and make every guest or attendee feel part of something bigger.

A Lasting Impression.

Her grounded, cinematic presence leaves audiences inspired, not overwhelmed.

  • “And I just did it. You just do it. That's what producing is. It's rolling up your sleeves and getting it done. You know, so many people want to be a producer by name. They think it's a very glamorous. It's the hardest job of the entire entertainment industry.”

    Eva Longoria

  • "You did a wonderful job protecting Adamma, allowing the director to focus on directing. On set you were very cool, very chill, but also very observant. You get the lay of the land before you launch it. There's some people who launch immediately, and then there's people who are like, 'I see you, I see how you guys interact, and now let me find my space within that.'
