From these discussions, we identify the strongest story angle for a unique and effective narrative we'll develop.

Creative Development

We listen deeply and work closely with you and your teams to develop a strong, impactful, and effective narrative that connects with your audience and aligns with your goals.

About the Artisan

Yami is a passionate filmmaker whose journey from industrial engineering to storytelling has been nothing short of inspiring. Originally from Puerto Rico, she broke barriers as the first in her family to graduate and later combined her MBA with a knack for creative problem-solving.

 Her mission? Empowering small businesses, especially those led by women, to soar through the art of storytelling. With a background that fuses engineering, business, and a passion for authentic narratives, She doesn’t  just make videos—she crafts solutions that drive growth. Whether it's a touching documentary or a captivating narrative, she aims to ignite change and touch hearts. When she's not crafting cinematic magic, she's soaking up family time, traveling, or exploring the outdoors.

 With freedom, courage, and authenticity as her compass, Yami founded Gutsy Glow Films to help you share your gutsy story with the world.

Here at Gutsy Glow we are intrepid hearts that love to channel our energy into crafting films that inspire change and growth. With each frame, we ignite the 'little fire of inspiration and curiosity' in hearts and minds, creating artful cinematic journeys that encapsulate authenticity, resilience, and brilliance.
