Danae Reynaud shines as actor, director, and producer in bold new projects

Danae Reynaud is stepping into the spotlight as both an actor and a first-time director. Her debut film, Berezada, recently premiered at the Morelia Film Festival and is now seeking distribution. Meanwhile, she continues to build a diverse career in front of the camera. Reynaud’s latest acting role is in Mona, a Bolivian dark comedy directed by Dennise Arancibia. The film follows a trans woman returning home, blending heavy themes with sharp humour. Critics have drawn comparisons to The Celebration for its bold storytelling. The cast includes Bruna Mora, Luis Bredow, and Raúl 'Pitín' Gómez, with Reynaud playing Mona’s ex-girlfriend.

Beyond Mona, Reynaud has appeared in projects like LadyRancho, Weddings Inc., and The Son-in-Law, currently streaming on Netflix. She is also producing Mexico My Love, an independent comedy series set to showcase her versatility behind the scenes.

Her directorial debut, Berezada, marks a new chapter in her career. After its festival screening, industry insiders expect the film to secure a distribution deal in the near future. With Berezada gaining attention and Mona adding to her acting credits, Reynaud is expanding her presence in film and television. Her work as a producer and director signals a growing influence in independent cinema. The coming months will likely bring more opportunities for her projects to reach wider audiences.
