About Me

Lynette Esparza is a Bay Area–based filmmaker and multidisciplinary creative working across film, fashion, and creative strategy. She’s interested in all the different ways a story can be told, whether through a film, an image, a campaign, or the world built around an idea.

As a filmmaker, she gravitates toward character-driven stories about identity, relationships, memory, and moments that shape us. Her short film Memories on Rewind, made through QWOCMAP, premiered at the QWOCMAP Film Festival. She also previously served as the Bay Area Director of The Great Film Club.

Outside of her own films, Lynette works across production as an assistant director, producer, associate producer, and casting director, with experience in narrative film, documentary, commercials, music videos, fashion, and branded work. She has also interned at companies like Patriot Pictures, Unlimited Possibilities Talent Agency, Stern Grove Music Festival, and San Francisco State University, giving her experience across development, talent, production, and marketing.

Her work has also taken her to Paris Fashion Week, where she created photo and video content around shows and events for Casablanca, Maison Mihara Yasuhiro, Ray-Ban, and others.

At the center of it all is a love for visual storytelling and finding new ways for film, fashion, and culture to live in the same space.
