“Filming, Healthy food, a Happy world and Getting inspired; That’s all I want!”
What do I do?
My name is Lizeth Yarlequé and I’m a Fixer, Film Producer and Filmmaker for documentaries and TV travel series in Peru for international broadcasters and directors.
This was not always my career as it took me some years to learn about myself to realize that my degree in Architecture wouldn’t take me where I wanted to go. Therefore, after some years of confusion I did the jump and here I am! 🙂
The passion for understanding my culture, its locations, idiosyncrasy and my motivation to highlight the best of people has led me to film and work on documentaries aired on the biggest broadcasters from Europe, North America and New Zealand like Warner Bross Netherlands, Discovery channel, BNNVARA (Dutch TV), ZDF (German TV) , ORF TVTHEK (Austrian TV), The Goldman Environmental Prize USA, United Nations, Sky News USA, CNN USA, Al Jazeera, TRT World and many more!
I am currently a correspondent for the TV Dutch channel Metropolis in Netherlands 🙂
Why my focus is on stories that can inspire?
I learnt through the years that being a proffesional just because, it means nothing if we don´t have a personal motivation for it. When I lived in Belfast, UK in 2017, I realized that people only knew a bit about Peru and unfortunately most of the bad News.
I realized that I had to do something to start changing it. Peru might be a country with a lot of problems but it also has great people that nobody shows. This is how Humana Films was born, with the conviction that I can show the best of human stories that can inspire others to be better in the world.
In Peru, we still have traditions, we still have cosmovisions and connection with the earth, we still know about medicinal plants, we still have young entrepreneurs that believe in innovating projects! We still socialize easily on the streets, we still do community work, we still meet with others without any special reason, we still laughs and laughs a lot regardless problems and those are unique stories that you can find in different places inside Peru.
About me
I am passionate about life and intense in all the senses! I am a natural eager to discover the world! I believe in the energies of the universe and I usually flow with them.
I am a person that loves eating and living healthy. Since September 2024 I have been practicing intermitent fasting for 16hrs and I feel amazing! I love discovering medicinal plants and I don’t use of any industrial medicine. I haven´t taken any antibiotic, or painkiller since 3 years ago. I only use plant essential oils.
I’m an active practicer of Acroyoga. Yes, balance is everything 🙂
Partying is not my thing. I prefer to share moments like walkings, go to the beach or go to natural places. I love sunsets and nights of full moon! Love seeing the ocean. Love doing trekking in the mountains. I love piano music and musicians in general and overall I love talking with people! I enjoy deep talkings drinking plant tea or hot chocolate 🙂 There is nothing that could replace a special connection to others. I love feeling myself human. 🙂
Making documentaries is a dream job for me! I can discover any person, any culture, any remote place, and the best of it: to show them off to the world!!
