Giovanna Salas

Giovanna Salas discovered her passion for the arts when she began her career as a fine artist. This passion naturally evolved into photography and entrepreneurship. Giovanna believes that success and social responsibility go hand in hand, and her vision has always included active community participation.

​

In 2012, she produced and directed a documentary about wild horses and wrote the sitcom Hollywood Or Bust, for which she produced the pilot in Hollywood. The following year, she entered the entertainment industry as a first assistant director in action films.

​

In 2017, Giovanna founded Heart Of Hollywood Motion Pictures, offering post-production services and hosting intimate networking events for colleagues and friends. Later that year, she launched Heart Of Hollywood Magazine, a publication that features fashion, entertainment, empowerment, and lifestyle content.

​

Today, Heart Of Hollywood Magazine reaches a global audience and is available in digital format, with special print issues. Over the years, the magazine has built an interactive community that has embraced diversity from the start. It has also hosted memorable red carpet events, parties, and other networking opportunities, fostering partnerships, collaborations, and friendships. Notably, the magazine has been among the official press and audiovisual media outlets covering the Cannes Film Festival and other prestigious events.

​

Giovanna continues to excel as a writer, film producer, event producer, and consultant. She supports international talent and strives to make an impact on the world. As she eloquently states, “Art is not the exclusive purview of any gender or nationality.”
