Rebeca Huntt

Rebeca is an Afro-Latina Writer/Director born and raised in New York City.  She wrote and directed her first feature-length film, BEBA (2022), which premiered at Toronto International Film Festival and was released by NEON in 2022, where it was a NYTimes Critics Pick.

Reflecting on her childhood and adolescence in New York City as the daughter of a Dominican father and Venezuelan mother, Huntt investigates the historical, societal, and generational trauma she’s inherited and ponders how those ancient wounds have shaped her, while simultaneously considering the universal truths that connect us all as humans.
