Former Costa Rican Film Commissioner Marysela Zamora, who was instrumental in reviving the Costa Rica Media Market (CRMM) these past two years, will continue to serve on the Board of Directors of the Ibero-American Network of Film Commissions (Iberofic), where she will spearhead a regional agenda aimed at bolstering women’s leadership in the audiovisual sector and help foster Spanish-language content on the global stage.

“Marysela has been a key voice in strengthening regional cooperation and positioning Costa Rica within the Ibero-American audiovisual conversation. We are pleased that she continues to be part of our Board of Directors and to lead strategic initiatives for the entire region,” said Carolina Cordero, Iberofic founder and president, who attended CRMM for the first time in July this year.
