Artal's role as the lesbian character Marta in the award-winning short, Por qué no llamas a Ernesto?

(“Why don’t you call, Ernesto?”). Spanish-born Artal, who has her sights on Hollywood, explains, “As an artist, I feel a responsibility to contribute to projects that reflect the diversity of human experiences.
