Angie Reza Tures is a filmmaker, screenwriter, and actor based out of El Paso, TX. In 1999, she moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and began working in the documentary community as a producer, director, and assistant editor. In 2011, she returned to El Paso and in 2016 founded Femme Frontera, a nonprofit organization that amplifies films made by women and nonbinary filmmakers from the U.S.-Mexico border. During her eight years as Executive Director, the organization received support from the Sundance Institute, the Ford Foundation, Perspective Fund, the Center for Cultural Power, and the MacArthur Foundation. She is a 2022 Rockwood Leadership Institute fellow. In 2024, she stepped away from her role at Femme Frontera to return to filmmaking. She is currently developing work which challenges and shifts perspectives about living, working, and loving along the U.S.-Mexico border.
