Alana Mediavilla: The Filmmaker Behind Dirty Coin.
Alana is the Puerto Rican filmmaker behind Dirty Coin and the founder of Campo Libre. Ten years in Big Tech, then home to San Juan to build her own company. She bought three bitcoin in 2015. Her husband sold them. Not your keys. One bitcoin donation financed the film and was worth more by the time it was spent. Five hundred screenings, two hundred cities, no studio. First English-language film to win Best National Documentary in Puerto Rico.

Alana spent more than a decade inside Silicon Valley producing for Google, Apple, PayPal, Volkswagen, and Volvo, including four years as a video producer for Google Cloud. In 2020 she walked away, moved her family home to Puerto Rico, and built the most important documentary on Bitcoin mining ever made. Dirty Coin has since been screened in over 200 cities through a community-hosted distribution model and won Best National Documentary in Puerto Rico, the first English-language film ever to do so.
This is the full story: a photographer father at Kodak, a Cuban mother whose family left Havana under Fidel, the personal sovereignty question that runs through every choice she has made since, and why the next decade of cinema belongs to artists who control their own rails.
