Her first documentary "Cuando lo pequeño se hace grande", about the Puerto Ricans who fought against the US Navy presence in the island of Vieques, was awarded Best Documentary at various international film festivals. She then debuted as film editor of the blockbuster film from rapper Daddy Yankee "Talento de Barrio". In 2005 she founded her own production company Maramara Films and in 2007 she codirected with Carlos Ruiz and edited her first feature "Maldeamores" (executive produced by Benicio Del Toro). The film won several international awards including Best Opera Prima, Audience Award, Best Picture, Best Screenplay, and Best Actress. Mariem’s other producing and directing credits include the award winning documentaries "De Puerto Rico Para El Mundo", "Diez&nbsp;En&nbsp;La Música", and Emmy®-winner "Croatto, La&nbsp;Huella&nbsp;De Un&nbsp;Emigrante". Mariem has a BA degree in film studies from University of Miami and a Continuation Studies degree with an emphasis on Documentary and Editing from NYU in New York and from EICTV in Havana, Cuba. <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/eventive-static/24127b988be54e7e515b34943c03a35e.jpg" width="152" style="display: inline; margin: 0px 1em 1em 0px; float: left;">ILIA J.

After a decade establishing herself as one of the premier producers in the advertising, Ilia started her own production company,&nbsp;Resonancia&nbsp;PR/MEX. Her features include El&nbsp;Misterio&nbsp;del Trinidad, a coproduction with Warner Brothers Mexico, which was nominated for Best Film at the Goya Awards in Spain and won Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor at the&nbsp;Arieles&nbsp;Awards (an award comparable to the Oscars in the U.S.). She served as producer for&nbsp;Maldeamores, a film co-directed by Mariem Pérez Riera and Executive Produced by&nbsp;Benicio&nbsp;del Toro. She produced&nbsp;Ángel, and Dios los&nbsp;Cría&nbsp;II, with&nbsp;Jacobo&nbsp;Morales, the only Puerto Rican director nominated for an Academy Award.
