Ana Hoppert Flores is a Latina immigrant and filmmaker hailing from the global and regional South. Her filmmaking practice strives to establish a long-standing dialogue with the communities it represents, and often draws on the conventions of slow cinema to tell intersectional stories that unfold in the everyday. “Abuela,” a short narrative film which she co-created and filmed, received the 2024 Latin American Communities Prize at Longleaf Film Festival; "A House for My Mother," a short documentary which she produced and was the co-cinematographer for, won the jury prize for Best Documentary Short at the 2025 Oxford Film Festival. Her work has been featured in Burlington Latino (2024) and Aspect Journal of Film & Screen Media (2023).

Ana is an associate producer at Teacup Productions, and a producer at Ethereal Films. She has BAs in English and Communication Studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), and will be pursuing an MFA in Radio-Television-Film with a specialization in Film and Media Production at the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) starting in the fall. Some of her favorite concepts to yap and think about include girlhood, affect theory, and place memory. Her favorite film is Ratatouille.
