About Teresa

I’m a Portuguese screenwriter and director with an overwhelming passion for films and for cinema as an art, a community, and a discourse. Despite having an education in both screenwriting and directing, I truly believe that it is by watching films and thinking/talking about them that we learn how to make them.
In 2021, after achieving good results in several contests with my scripts, I decided to produce my first official project as a solo director: the short film "(In)Sight" (IMDb: )
Currently working on film projects while finishing a degree in Communication Sciences at Universidade Nova FCSH.
