My Story
—————
I’m drawn to people and the stories, especially where strength and vulnerability meet. I was born in Ibi, a small town in Alicante known for its toy industry, and raised in Almería, in Southern Spain, the landscape of classic Spaghetti Westerns. I began studying Law at the University of Granada, but somewhere between art, movement and cinema, something shifted, and I chose to follow it.
That instinct led me to New Mexico’s independent film community, where I gained on-set experience in productions such as Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. It was there that I came to understand the artist’s path as one grounded in collaboration and generosity, a perspective I carry into my work in Los Angeles.

Lorena's presence on set was nothing short of captivating. Her large, exotic eyes and extraordinary ability to convey complex emotions and thoughts with subtlety and depth truly set her apart. This unique expressiveness not only enhanced her performance but also added a rich layer of authenticity and connection with the audience, crucial for the success of a campaign with such wide and diverse reach.

With her impressive range and ability to effortlessly embody complex characters, she creates a natural and captivating atmosphere for her fellow actors to work off of, as well as for her audience to behold. ¨Lorena Fernandez has a remarkable ability to connect her privacy to her imaginative choices in her acting and I know very few actors who can actually do that.¨
-Gregory Berger-Sobeck, Greg Studios, L.A.
I’m thrilled to recommend Lorena Fernandez. I have had the pleasure of teaching her for the past two years, and her talent, professionalism, and willingness to bring her authentic self to the character stood out from day one. She does not simply perform, she transforms.
