Yasmina’s graduation short film “3 washes” won several prizes at International Film festivals. Upon her return to Spain Yasmina went on to direct TV commercials for international clients such as Fanta, Garnier, Dove, L’Oréal, Vodafone, Huawei, SEAT, Mango, Movistar …

In addition, Yasmina directed the documentary “Medicines, a kidnapped right” which aired nationally on TVE (Spain).
