Vita

JAVIERA RISCO is a screenwriter living in Santiago, Chile. She is co-founder of »Typpo Creative Lab«, which develops animation content for the Latin American and European markets, especially series, transmedia formats and feature films. Besides animation, she is particularly interested in history and how it can be transformed into fiction. That's why she is working as a developer and writer for a Chilean live-action series set in the 1850s, portraying the only king of the Chilean Mapuche tribe.

One of the reasons I developed this series was my interest in fictionalising real events. Layers' is based on my own family's experiences during the Chilean dictatorship. I try to show the traumas that still torment the victims today and overshadow their future.
