Maria Novaro
The director I chose to research is Maria Novaro. She was born in Mexico City in the 1950’s. She is said to be the most successful Mexican female director. She studied sociology at National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). She studied film production at University Center of Film Studies in Mexico. She is very well known, especially in Europe, for her use of colors in her films. Maria Novaro is considered a pioneer because of her success in a male-dominated career. As of now, she is currently writing a novel about Chicana women.

I have never seen any of Maria Novaro’s work. The short clip that I saw from Sin dejar huella shows that the story is about two women who find friendship. They are both trying to escape from something or someone in their past.
I found Maria Novaro by searching through the links that Rachel so kindly posted as guidance. I typed Novaro’s name in google and clicked on the internet database website (IMDB). This is where I read a short bio about her and a list of her works.
It was not difficult for me to find Novaro because of the helpful links. I looked at the index of female directors and randomly chose one.
