"Goldsmiths gave me the knowledge and experience to feel and understand what it takes and what it means to be a film director.

I learned about script writing skills but also that my life is the greatest fountain of ideas. I learned about characters and plot, but also that my main tool and centre of attention should be the actors. I learned about composition, camera and shots, but also that managing and understanding the talented people that will make the movie possible is your best chance at getting a great film.

I learned all of that in a very international atmosphere that exponentially multiplied my learning process to another level. Now I am in Los Angeles, the world's film core, working on my first feature film. It's a female-led movie that talks about racism and homophobia. A story of culture clash and human diversity that the world needs to see."
