The World has Many Stories to Tell
Shall I tell you one ?
Born in soil to blossom in the water.
Between continents to travel forever.
Create stories showcasing the other.
Because the other is important too.
The other is also us too.
We should know the unknown other, besides us.
Let new voices be heard.
New perspectives be seen.
Create stories anew.
Always new stories.
About Me
Born in Lisbon and moves to Goa in 1998. Tries a career as an importer of Portuguese goods and inaugurated the first store dealing exclusively with Portuguese imports – christened “A Nau” – but soon realizes that this is not where she wants to be in life. Life has to be more than food.
So, she opens an NGO by the name of “Communicare Trust” because, if nothing else, she believes in the unifying force of language. As the main driving force in this Trust, she conceptualized several innovative projects, amongst them a television quiz involving different languages, conceptualization and design of theaters in orphanages to popularize languages (other than local Indian languages) and stop motion movies using waste.
Every project is an opportunity to reflect my passion for what I do, infused with life, emotion and creativity. Always an artist at heart, I will still treat it as if it would be my next masterpiece.
AWARDS
Awards offer filmmakers like us essential recognition, elevating confidence and validating our creative endeavors. While it may not directly bring monetary gains, it significantly amplifies visibility and draws in audiences. Being part of film festivals is something we cherished, as it provides a chance to connect with like-minded filmmakers, fostering potential collaborations. When it culminates with an award, a genuine sense of accomplishment arises, knowing the audience appreciates our work, inspiring us to dream of innovative ways to make a lasting impact.

FILM FESTIVALS
We are always eager to participate in film festivals because because they not only provide a platform to connect with other filmmakers and their movies but also to expose our film to a wider audience, facilitating critical reviews. It is where we find inspiration and hope to inspire others.
DOCUMENTARY
As an educationist, I believe that documentaries are an effective way to bridge the gap between worlds and cultures. It is the awakening of the curiosity towards the OTHER. From then onwards the door is open.
