Available to hire
I’m Laura Pedrosa, a Lisbon-based filmmaker and communications professional with a global footprint. I work across film, media, and marketing, combining creative production with strategic communication for brands, festivals, and cultural projects. I’m fluent in Portuguese and English, with hands-on experience coordinating large groups, events, and cross-border collaborations while delivering engaging content for social media and public outreach.
Over the years I’ve directed, edited, and produced projects from indie shorts to festival collaborations, while building a strong practice in social media management, content writing, and strategic communications. I thrive in collaborative environments, coordinating volunteers, partners, and teams to bring creative ideas to life across multiple languages and platforms.
