Monica Vargas Celis

Mónica Vargas Celis? Oh, she’s a force in Mexican cinema, that’s for sure. She’s not just some producer who sits in the background—she’s been behind a string of hits that honestly, if you’ve watched any decent Mexican rom-com in the last decade, you’ve probably seen her name pop up. Think “How to Break Up with Your Douchebag,” “You’ve Got This,” “Sin Origen,” “My Boyfriend’s Meds,” and a bunch more. She’s got this knack for mixing humor with just enough drama to keep you hooked. And don’t even get me started on “Club de Cuervos”—that show was everywhere for a while and she produced it together with Alazraki Films. She runs the show at Traziende Films as General Director of Production, basically bossing up and making big things happen. And she’s not just working with local studios—she’s teamed up with Netflix, Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox, Televisa…the list goes on. Plus, look at the actors she’s worked with: Diego Luna, Demián Bichir, Esmeralda Pimentel, Stockard Channing, Jaime Camil, Sandra Echeverría, and honestly, half of Mexico’s A-list. People want to work with her because she knows how to deliver. These days, she’s juggling a bunch of new projects (as usual), and she’s always popping up at universities and film schools, sharing what she knows. She’s kind of a big deal, not gonna lie.
