Amanda Lago

Spanish filmmaker. She is a writer, director and an editor that has a great ability to transfer human emotions to her movies. Relationships, experiences, feelings are Amandas strongest and most important film-making means. She grew in Galicia with her grandparents.

She spent  days walking around with no apparent reason. Nowadays, she walks around with her four dogs: Virginia, Caverna, Rula and Lotto, and her two cats Michi & Puchi

Her grandmother taught her to love the music so Amanda is also composer. Her first job as a filmmaker was a medium-length film which last scene could never be shot (We almost ended up without the last one for our Curiosity Series).

She needs silence and fog.
