BIO

Claudia S. Murray is an award-winning writer, director, and documentary producer. She is a featured director in NALIP’s “Latinx Directors You Should Know” series. 

She took an unconventional career path into film, including a background in constitutional law and political speechwriting. But she gave up everything to pursue her greatest passion: comedy writing. Claudia’s film career began at the Moving Picture Institute (MPI) where she worked as an Impact Producer creating social impact campaigns for documentaries by day, and as a standup comedian by night. 

During that time she co-wrote and directed her first film, the MPI Original Short Gringa. The dramedy short is loosely based on her own experiences growing up in a multigenerational, bilingual family. The film stars Lidia Porto (Epix's Get Shorty) and Ruben Rabasa (Netflix's I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson) as the grandmother and grandfather, respectively. 
​

Gringa screened at dozens of festivals and won many audience and jury awards, including Best Director at the UCLAx Film Festival. In late 2019, Claudia became a full-time filmmaker. Today, she develops and produces narrative and documentary content for film, TV, and the web.
