Rafaela, a film she also produced, showcased not only her compelling on-screen presence but also her prowess behind the camera. In 2025, she expanded her artistic scope once more, winning the Best Music Video Award for her emotionally rich song Alicia, proving her storytelling extends far beyond acting.
Her work has traveled the globe, earning spots at prestigious film festivals like Sundance, Locarno, and IFFI Goa, further cementing her international stature.

Offstage and behind the camera, Judith Rodríguez is a committed advocate for social justice. Through her documentary De Niña a Niña, produced for Save the Children, she gives voice to vulnerable girls and underrepresented stories, proving that her artistry is as compassionate as it is compelling. Her commitment to social change is not performative — it’s deeply personal.
What’s Next: A New Era of Artistry
Never one to rest on her laurels, Rodríguez is currently producing The Cutest Thing, an upcoming film project in collaboration with Pavel Marcano.
