BIOGRAPHY

Despite staying busy with her design career, Diana always found time for theater. Her first opportunity in film came with From Prada to Nada (2011), a co-production between Mexico and the United States. Diana got a small role in the film after finding an advertisement in the Monterrey newspaper in which the production was looking for extras: “when I arrived and they saw my resume, they asked me why I was an extra if I was an actress.” As a result, Diana participated in the film within a scene with Kuno Becker and Alexa Vega. At the end of filming, she decided to try her luck in Mexico City, which she has described as one of the biggest challenges on a professional and personal level. Once in the city, Diana attended many castings, one of them being the defunct Saturday Night Live Mexico project .

Subsequently, Diana worked in short films until in 2016 she got her first leading role in film with The Possession of Altair (2016), a film independent horror film that was widely accepted by specialized critics and won several awards in the international festival circuit, including Sitges.

However, the projects that were watersheds in the Mexican’s career are Until the Wedding Separates Us (2018) and Mirreyes Contra Godínez (2019).
