Amanda Bovea

(also known as Amanda Martinez)

Director and Photographer from Miami, FL.

“Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.” Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society (1989)

Throughout my childhood, I've always had a passion for creating works of art. Art has been an escape for me, giving me moments of clarity when my world was the furthest thing from it. Cameras have been a major part of my life. When I was little, my grandfather (QEPD) would film family events and a couple of weeks later would host viewing parties to watch the films he made of everyone dancing and enjoying the moment. 

The thing about being creative is we all have a reason we do it. For me, it allows me to capture moments, emotions, and thoughts of that specific part of my life.  Although cameras had a presence in my upbringing, I never picked up a video camera until my freshman year of high school. CBTV (Cypress Bay Television), the TV production program, gave me an outlet to grow as a storyteller. It also allowed me to create a 20 minute documentary in my senior year, which would further cement my need to become a filmmaker.  

I've been blessed to find my passion early on. At the age of 19, I graduated with my bachelor's degree in Film. I am a graduate of Full Sail University with a Master's in Film Production. 

Currently, I reside in South FL.
