My name is Bianca and I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area. I am currently studying an MA in Filmmaking at the University of East London and have many interests when it comes to creating content. As someone who studied Anthropology for my undergraduate degree, I enjoy culture and getting to know individuals. Therefore traveling, food, (non mainstream) music, culture and in general, people are a huge inspiration to me and my work. I have made documentaries, short films and experimental videos as well. I like to be well-rounded in skills, so I enjoy directing projects but also researching, doing camera work and editing. I'm always enthusiastic about meeting new individuals, learning new skills and telling a different story when it comes to creative work.

- GRAPEFRUITThrough the themes of friendship, love, reconnection and memories we created "Grapefruit", a short story of two old friends reconnecting in an East London bar after several years. The prompt for this project was to create a six minute short film focusing on audiovision. The concept of audiovision looks at the relationship between sound and image versus them as separate entities. We portray this concept of audiovision through reminiscent storytelling.
