Francisco Toto Vargas' Documentary



A former feature film actress in her native Denmark, Ulla Darni is the star of a documentary by Digital Filmmaking instructor Francisco Vargas. The film depicts her history and her process as she creates paintings, lighting pieces and sculptures in her Catskills studio.

Francisco met when Ulla when he was a graduate student, and was impressed with her work and personality. Ulla’s talent is so perceptible that she has been hailed as “Today’s Tiffany.” She had never allowed a documentary on her work before, but she said yes to Francisco, who was assisted in the documentary by AiNYC student Gabriel Garcia Rosa.

Collectors of her works include Prince Charles of England, Richard Rockefeller, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Al Pacino, Cher, Goldie Hawn, and many other celebrities.

The multi-talented artist spent seven years as a feature film actress in her native Denmark. Now she is back in front of the camera as the star of this documentary. Francisco Vargas has captured the colorful essence of Ulla as she paints, plays the harp and shares her multifaceted life.
