A few weeks back, I had the pleasure of catching up with her and her work. She has quite a list of independent films, shorts, and series that includes, Narcos season 2.

Cabana talked about being the lead DP for Starz hit series, Vida. Now going into its second season with ten episodes in production already.

It was great seeing and hanging with this talented lady. We look forward to our next talk. Now check out our little talk below and click here for the one we did six years back.
