About Ramuel

Ramuel Galarza is a Puerto Rican filmmaker living in New York City. He grew up in Gainesville, Florida; surrounded by medical academia, senior homes, and swamps.

When he was eight years old, he experimented with the family’s VHS-C camcorder; capturing family moments and filming skits with his sisters. Ramuel watched the behind the scenes content on DVD’s and VHS’s; learning as much as he could about visual effects, acting, and directing.

When he entered high school, he took a film class to confirm if he was good enough to turn his passion into a long career. It was the encouragement he needed to apply to the coveted Film School at Florida State University, where he graduated with a BFA in Motion Picture Arts.

His work has screened at multiple film festivals and garnered awards and nominations such as Best Dramatic Short, Best Lead Actress, Best Screenplay, and Audience Choice Award.

His latest project, “She’s Fine”, is a horror comedy short about a vet tech who moves in with an obsessive abstract artist who may have killed her past roommates. During the 2022-2023 film festival circuit, it has already won Best Directing and earned nominations for Best Horror Short, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, Best Editing, Best Makeup, and Best Trailer.
