Caridad Cole
- Actress
- Writer
- Director
Caridad (which means "charity" in Spanish) is a Los-Angeles based writer, filmmaker, actress, and visual artist who is absolutely obsessed with the strangeness of dreams and the surrealism of nightmares. After graduating from Bard College with a BA in both film production and creative writing, Caridad appeared in several award-winning indie dramas, worked with Oscar-nominated director Mike Mills, and starred in a trio of music videos for American rock band Mayday Parade. Under her own production company, pico bonito, she has released several experimental short films and animations. Though often gravitating towards horror and the absurd, Caridad most often works in magical realism, a tradition she weaves throughout her multidisciplinary work, as well as in the speculative literary and art magazine she founded in 2023, Moonday Mag.
