BIO
Pedro Lapa Costa
I studied Film Directing at ETIC in Lisbon, where I developed and produced a variety of short film and audiovisual projects, gaining hands-on experience in directing, visual storytelling and collaborative production. For my internship I worked for a production company as an Assistant Director on a talk show for RTP, further strengthening my understanding of on-set workflow and production processes.
Alongside directing, my main creative focus is screenwriting. I completed the Screenwriting course at World Academy, where I developed original projects and refined my storytelling, character development and scriptwriting skills. I am particularly interested in character-driven stories that explore contemporary social issues through a distinctive visual and cinematic approach.
