Joana Lopes Brás Pinto
Originally from Portugal, I came to the UK to study Filmmaking and then search for better opportunities for myself. I believe the fact that I didn't grow up in the UK and only moved here in my 20s means that I bring in a fresh perspective and point of view.
I'm interested in being a part of telling stories that investigate the human psyche and examine relationships between people. These have been the stories that have captivated me the most as a Film and TV fan and I believe they have an important mission: teaching us about empathy.
