Leonor Cervantes Vargas (Málaga, 2000) holds a double degree in Philosophy and Political Science from the Complutense University of Madrid and a Master’s degree in Transmedia Documentary and Journalistic Reporting from Carlos III University of Madrid.

Since 2022, she has been writing opinion columns for the newspaper Público, which has allowed her to build a small but engaged community on social media, where she appears under the name “leonera.” She has balanced her writing with her work as a screenwriter and editor for Playz, the youth-oriented branch of the Spanish public broadcasting corporation RTVE.

She currently works as a communications technician at the publishing group Penguin Random House. At the same time, she continues to pursue her own artistic career through documentary filmmaking. Cuento de Feria is her debut film.
