Patricia Cardosa
Patricia cardosa was born in Bogota, Columbia. Her family moved to the united states in 1987. She earned a degree in archeology and anthropology. She spent her time researching the Tairona culture, and had her findings published in numerous academic journals. She worked as a teacher at Universidad Javeriana, and had a stint as an assistant director at the Columbian Institute of Culture. She felt unfulfilled by her work and went back to school for film. Her 2002 film Real Women Have Curves is her most successful film to date, this is the only film by her that i have seen. i enjoyed the film, and i think it shows a realistic picture of modern life not only for Latinas, but also for young women in general. She is an independent film director, so her films are harder to come by. most work is shown at film festivals, like sundance.
