Paulís Cofresí, born in 2005 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, developed a passion for the arts early on. At 8 years old, while acting for a local short film, Paulís realized conveying meaningful messages to the world with moving pictures was her one and only love. She attended the Escuela Central de Artes Visuales and won the 2020 Best Short Film award at the Puertorican Film Foundation Festival for her debut film "X". In 2021 and 2022, she attended the New York Film Academy summer program, creating several short films, including the award-winning "The Making of my Seasons". Her latest film, "Nos Persiguen," won 7 awards at the European Film Festival "Cortaditos". Cofresí was accepted into the Pratt Institute film program and plans to pursue her career in New York.
