Isadora
CANGUÇU
Hi! I'm a Brazilian director and screenwriter based in London.
My main focus — both in film and music videos — is to develop narratives that transport audiences to new worlds, diving into stories that border on the surreal.
Having lived in different countries during my childhood, multiculturalism is a recurring theme in my work. This is why I chose to explore various Latin cultures to create a new dystopian world in my short film Borders.
With over four years of experience in film, I’ve written and directed 14+ music videos for clients like Universal and Sony, honing my visual storytelling abilities. My short films Borders and My Hand Is the Extension of My Heart, which I wrote and directed, have both received recognition and awards at international festivals.
Currently, I’m developing a new feature film while also producing two short films: Gold Rusts in the Tide and Three, Two, One. I look forward to delving deeper into themes of identity and diversity in my projects, while continuously seeking to build immersive worlds and dynamic storytelling.
