MAGGIE CONTRERAS

FUELED BY THE POWER OF TRUE STORIES

Maestra is a new feature documentary following five internationally-based women as they prepare for and perform in ‘La Maestra’—the only competition in the world for female orchestra conductors. Personal stories of survival, passion and perseverance are woven together with the drama and excitement of this one-of-a-kind event created to break yet another glass ceiling for women. Maggie’s award-winning directorial debut had its world premiere as an official selection of the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival where it won an audience award and continues to pick up recognitions all over the world as it travels the festival circuit.

SXSW ‘24 will host the world premiere of Preconceived, a documentary feature Maggie produced which takes a deep dive into the enigmatic world of crisis pregnancy centers. Also as a producer, Jonathan Scott's Power Trip (PBS Independent Lens ‘20) is the titular HGTV celebrity and activist's journey across the USA to examine the antiquated utility monopoly system and how solar holds the key to energy freedom. And in 2017, Gilbert premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and was distributed by Gravitas Ventures with exclusive SVOD on Hulu. Maggie’s series work has been seen on AMC, NFL and Quibi.

Whether it’s working with brands or in the field on her next film or series, Maggie is fueled by the power of true stories.
