Later that fall, Luanda produced her first Off-Off-Broadway production, Snowangel, in which she also starred in the lead role. In 2026, she continued to expand her screen work, taking on the lead role in the short film Four's a Crowd. Through her work across film, theater, and performance art, Luanda continues to explore new creative avenues and establish her voice as a multidisciplinary artist
