Dominique Ulloa is a proud single mom of two from the Crenshaw District of South Los Angeles. Growing up, she had a unique relationship to Hollywood: her house was in Boys ‘N the Hood, her high school choir was the inspiration for the movie Sister Act 2, and the sitcom Moesha (starring Brandy Norville) was based on her school and neighborhood. That meant that the world of television and film was all around her, and yet it was inaccessible at the same time. She studied cinema verité editing traditions under the tutelage of Joshua Altman, and archive-driven documentary under the tutelage of Pedro Kos and with practicum on his new feature film. Previously, Ulloa worked on the six-part docu-series Surviving R. Kelly, which aired on Lifetime and was nominated for a Peabody Award. She also edited the television documentary In God We Trust: 9/11 Triumph from Tragedy, as well as the 2018 Winter Olympics Games. She is an ACE Fellow, A Karen Schmeer Diversity in the Edit Fellow, and chair of the Ujima Entertainment Coalition, a nationwide collective of African American post-production professionals with over 1200 members. She began her career in post-production operations at the Oprah Winfrey Network.
