From the Chinese border with Vietnam, I was adopted by a Catalan family and brought to Barcelona.
After some time I would - with little knowledge about the filmmaking industry - become a Production Assistant.
I was extremely lucky to count on the support of my mentor who believed in my skill and offered me the oportunity to learn and grow.
From there I paved my own path by expanding my career not only in Production, but also exploring the Direction department and even Camera and Lighting as well.
Now in Berlin, I am delighted to take part in amazing and incredibly creative projects that challenge me and push me to better myself.
I have worked as Producer and Assistant Director in many different environments and contexts; from big crews of a hundred people to small skeleton crews, on sets in remote locations with difficult conditions,
in student films and passion projects, in productions with the most unpredictable setbacks awaiting, etc. Some of the skills and responsibilities I've picked up along the way inlcude the following keywords: budget keeping and supervision, call sheets, casting calls, international crews management, logistics coordination, look and feel supervision, payroll administration, PPMs,
product handling, script supervision, planning and executing of sets and locations, shooting documentation, shot lists, talent and extras management, transport plan. I am very happy to have gained this experience and to be able to look back and smile wide.
Fun facts: I've played the piano for years and I like to sing, I'm an avid reader and have been writing since childhood, I draw (mostly pen on paper) and I also tattoo.
I've been lucky to be able to travel around the world my whole life, as well as to enjoy nature and a variety of different sports and academic disciplines - just getting to know this world a little better each day.
Thank you for taking a glimpse into my story, my voice. All the best! :)
