In 2025, she received the Cinematic Ellies Award to develop her second project, Bury Me Under The Palms from Oolite Arts which will serve as the foundation for a feature film. Brino's practice is rooted in bending genre and form, using principles from theatre to inform her cinematic approach, while exploring the tension between performance and reality.
