Rebecca Blandón is a decorated Nicaraguan-American documentary filmmaker and visual journalist born and bred in the Bronx, now living in Brooklyn.

A jack of all trades, she shoots, produces, and edits stories that make the invisible visible. Enriched with a past in neuroscience and music, she finds purpose in developing trust with sources in the field and protecting the truth in post.

Blandón has created work for news organizations like Axios, PBS Frontline, The Boston Globe, and The New York Times. She’s also worked at NYC production companies like Downtown Community Television Center (DCTV), Radical Media, Left/Right, and Ark Media.

Her independent films have screened at festivals, been exhibited at museums, and been sponsored by The Bronx Documentary Center, The Jacob Burns Film Center, and Rooftop Films. She is a proud member of Brown Girls Doc Mafia, The Video Consortium, BIPOC Doc Editors, and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. Blandón received her Bachelor’s in Neuroscience from Brown University and her Master’s in Journalism from NYU.

Blandon’s work honors compassion, integrity, and beauty. Her stories often explore the unique yet universal existential connections we share with impermanence, belonging, identity, and freedom.

On weekends, you’ll find her feeding her obsessions: ramen and flowers.
