Romina Paula is one of the most interesting figures under forty currently active on the Argentine literary scene: a playwright, novelist, director, and actor. Her two novels to date (¿Vos me querés a mí? and Agosto) have enjoyed extraordinary popularity and critical acclaim. The plays she has written and directed (including El tiempo todo entero, based on The Glass Menagerie, and Fauna) have been positively reviewed in every major publication in Argentina. As an actress, Paula appeared in Santiago Mitre's 2011 The Student, Gustavo Taretto's 2011 Sidewalls, Matías Piñeiro's 2009 They All Lie, as well as his 2014 The Princess of France, which played at the 2015 Chicago International Film Festival.
