Tatiana Huezo Sánchez (Latin American Spanish: [taˈtjana ˈweso ˈsantʃes]; born 9 January 1972) is a film director of Salvadoran and Mexican nationality, residing in Mexico.

In 2021, she premiered her first fiction film, Noche de Fuego, a story about three young girls in Mexico on their path to examine their adolescence in a town dominated by drug trade and human trafficking.

[2]Tempestad, which received the 2016 Fénix Award for Best Documentary,[7] tells the true story of Mexican women Miryam Carvajal – who spent almost a year incarcerated in Matamoros prison, accused of human trafficking, a crime she did not commit – and Aldela Alvarado, who is looking for her missing daughter.

In a mountain town in Mexico, Ana, Paula and Maria live a childhood that oscillates between idyllic and dreadful, as they reach adolescence, they are faced with the growing pains of womanhood, and a threatening and cruel environment.

[9] Huezo, born in El Salvador and raised in Mexico, had already been researching the area for a documentary she’d been developing, so in the end it seemed like the perfect opportunity to step into fiction filmmaking, after a career made from award-winning socially committed documentaries.This film was based on the Jennifer Clement novel, Prayers for the Stolen (2012).
