We speak with Nicole Chi, a Costa Rican-Chinese writer, director, and producer. Chi is the creative force behind the documentary, “Guián,” and the short film, “Los Mosquitos.”

Both films will be shown next week at the New/Next Film Festival, produced by Baltimore Public Media. More than 80 titles from around the world will be screened at the Charles Theater.
