Via Bia
- Writer
- Producer
- Director
Via was raised on the shimmering asphalt of suburban New York by a multi-generational Puerto Rican and Jewish family where God was in charge (aka, her abuela).
An alumna of screenwriting labs through Sundance, the Stowe Story Labs, and Cine Qua Non (sponsored by AMPAS), Via's first film, These Colors Don't Run, was supported by Kodak and distributed by HBO, while her latest film, Post Comedy, is currently on the festival circuit. She is the producer of La Juana (dir: Anayamel), Bridge (dir: Cristina Wolf), and Development (dir: Chloe Caudillo), a selected project for the 2023 Netflix/LALIFF Inclusion Fellowship.
Via is the co-writer of the absurdist holiday rom-com, Christmas Rodeo (recently optioned by Happy Accidents), and loves to create stories about cursey Latinas who say they don't give a shit... yet totally do.
