[Here the existing page describes Riggen's education, under "Early life and career beginnings" In Guadalajara, Riggen obtained a degree in communication sciences, and worked as a journalist.[1] Riggen found her way into writing and producing film, though she never thought she would end up as a director, comparing the chances of landing a career as a director to the chances of landing a career as an astronaut – slim to none.[2]
Unhappy with producing, Riggen moved to New York to pursue a career in writing. She found herself as a director after directing one exercise.[3]
[Here the existing page describes Riggen's directing career, talking about specific films]
Approached in 2010 to direct The 33, Riggen recounted her satisfaction that a woman would direct a film with such masculine subject matter.[4] The 33 was shot in the Atacama Desert in Chile, as well as two mines in Columbia.[5] Filmed in real salt mines over 35 days for 14 hour days 6 days a week; Riggen’s goal was to have the cast and crew understand what being a miner is like.[6]
Riggen partnered up with writer and producer Ligiah Villabobos for the creation of La Misma Luna.[7] Riggen and Villabobos are both Mexican-born but relocated to the United States, and after taking many years to embrace their careers, they became extremely passionate about the work they produced.[8]
Funding for the binational film La Misma Luna, which was started in an American studio before Riggen made the decision to direct it independently, was done through both a fund from the Mexican government, and American financers.[9] La Misma Luna was very well received in 2007 at the Sundance festival.[10]
