She has written and directed seven short films that explore various techniques and formats of a surrealist narrative with strong visuals and sensitive moods. The film Copper Women received an honorable mention at the Rochester Film Festival, and the film The Hot Room was selected as one of the four finalists of Showtime’s 1st Latino Filmmaker's Showcase. Guillermina also wrote and directed music videos, including “God's Child” performed by Alfie Salas, and "El Ranchito de Dios" performed by Jesús Figueroa. In addition to writing and directing, Guillermina has worked as a film and video editor for many productions such as the IMAX movie All Access (EPK), the Spanish soap opera Te Amaré en Silencio (Univision), the Artisan movie Blair Witch Project II (EPK), documentaries for the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the feature documentary KordaVision about the Cuban photographer Alberto Korda, author of the famous Che Guevara picture. KordaVision has recently premiered at the Los Angeles Latino Film Festival.
In June 2002 Guillermina and the Mexican filmmaker Luis Salazar founded Freecuencia Fest, the bi-annual Alternative Latino Film & Video Festival. Freecuencia Fest is a non-competitive festival that showcases past and contemporary alternative cinema and video by artists from Latin America.
Presently, Guillermina is in production of a feature documentary Cuando yo te vuelva a ver, the story of Luis Politti, an Argentine actor who, according to the myth, died due to extreme sadness provoked by his exile in Spain.
