ABOUT CHLOE CAUDILLO

 

 

Chloe Caudillo is a Mexican-American writer-director raised in a rural Illinois corn town, now based in Los Angeles. She crafts bold, genre-driven films that fuse humor, heart, and cinematic spectacle. A graduate of The Second City’s Harold Ramis Film School and a 2023 Netflix x Latino Film Institute Fellow, her work centers Latine characters in heightened, imaginative worlds.

​

Her award-winning short Development, a fantastical take on imposter syndrome through a Latina lens, screened at Whistler Film Festival, New York Latino Film Festival, and beyond. It won Best Narrative Short at the MíraLA Film Festival and earned nominations for Best Female-Directed Short (Whistler) and Best Short Film – Comedy (NFMLA Best of Awards). She is currently developing the short into a feature.

​

Chloe recently produced Useless (stop motion short) and Playing Orlando (documentary short), both currently on the festival circuit. In Spring 2026, her horror short Tiendes Miedo was selected for production support by the MíraLA x La Femme Lens Script Competition.

​

With a background in comedy and a deep commitment to representation, Chloe brings rigor, inventiveness, and a distinct tonal voice to her work, building stories that are as emotionally grounded as they are visually ambitious.
