In 2025, Martina Passeggi made her debut as a leading actress in A Bright Future, the second feature film by Lucía Garibaldi, winner of the Best Director Award at Sundance Film Festival 2019. The film had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City in June 2025, where it won the Viewpoints Award, highlighting its bold storytelling and artistic vision.

“This year’s Viewpoints award goes to a film driven by an original, inventive voice. The filmmaker creates a seamless world that is captivating, thought-provoking, fresh and increasingly relevant. Weaving themes of the fetishization of youth, the timeless pursuit of dreams, and what makes us human, and anchored by a pitch perfect performance from their lead actress, we are pleased to award this year’s Viewpoint prize to A Bright Future. We believe Lucia Garibaldi has a very bright future."
