Carmen Gloria Pérez is a filmmaker, writer, and founder of MOONFRAME, an AI-forward creative studio producing award-winning speculative, documentary, and expressionist cinematic work.

She is the recipient of the 2025 John McCarthy Award for AI Filmmaking (AI Week Milan). Her films include The Mars Novella, selected for the United Nations AI for the Future Festival (UNEA-7, Nairobi) and winner of Best Science Fiction at AIMF and the Prediction Award at BAIFF, and Flower of the Valley, winner of Best Documentary at AIFF Amsterdam, the Photography Award at BAIFF, and featured on RAI Cinema’s digital platform.

Previously, Carmen spent over a decade working internationally as an actress, with more than 40 screen credits including Netflix’s Young Royals and A Storm for Christmas. She holds a B.A. in Government & International Politics and is a military veteran.

Over the past three years, she has also worked within a traditional film and television production company, supporting projects across production operations, finance, payroll, and executive-level coordination, gaining firsthand experience in the business, logistical, and financial structures behind large-scale productions. This dual perspective, creative and operational, informs her current work developing original IP, innovative storytelling pipelines, and future-facing production models through MOONFRAME.

She is now focused on narrative world-building, hybrid filmmaking, and the creation of  creator-led cinematic universes.
