Directing
**Welcome to My Creative World**
Hi, I'm Alizé Benavides! At 24 years old, I’m a passionate filmmaker who ventured from Houston, Texas, to the heart of the film industry, Los Angeles, in 2019. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Cinema Directing from California College of ASU (formerly Columbia College Hollywood), I’ve dedicated myself to the art of storytelling through film.
One of my most cherished projects is my college thesis film, "Drifting Clouds". This short film pushed me beyond my limits and became a defining moment in my creative journey. The experience was both challenging and profoundly rewarding, and I am incredibly proud of the final result. The dedication and talent of the cast and crew were instrumental in bringing this vision to life, and their contributions will always hold a special place in my heart.
My drive and passion for directing continue to fuel my aspirations. I am eager to embark on new projects, embrace fresh experiences, and grow as a filmmaker. Thank you for joining me on this exciting adventure, let's explore the world of film together!
'Drifting Clouds" explores the harrowing battle of addiction and the blurred lines between reality and illusion, as Ray grapples with the consequences of her choices, finding solace in her mind while losing touch with reality. As her story unfolds, the boundaries between truth and illusion blur, leaving her trapped in a surreal and harrowing struggle.
