María Nela Sinisterra is the actress who stars in the Colombian-Argentine film CORAZÓN DE LEÓN (Lionheart). Born in Buenaventura, Valle del Cauca, she has lived in Argentina for several years, where she has worked as a television presenter and host, modeled, and appeared in various film projects. Such is the recognition this actress has received that by the end of 2015 she will have participated in at least five Colombian films, as she stated in an interview with the Cali-based newspaper El País.

“We already filmed the movie 'Tiempo Muerto' in Colombia this year, with a script that won several awards in Argentina; it's a very powerful drama. I have one with John Leguizamo, a dark drama set in the Pacific. Before that, we're going to make a film, 'Pacífico,' which will be shot in Bahía Solano, with horror, suspense, and special effects. Then comes one that will be filmed between New York and Bogotá, with the story of a woman from the Pacific who goes to the Capital of the World in search of her future. It doesn't have a title yet. And to finish the year, 'Buscando el muerto arriba' (Looking for the Dead Man Upstairs), which deals with the theme of stowaways, so I'll be in Colombia all year.‘http://www.elpais.com.co/elpais/entretenimiento/noticias/maria-nela-sinisterra-actriz-calena-protagoniza-corazon-leon)
