About Alessandra
With a degree in Business Administration and Finance, I enjoyed a long career in communications and advertising before discovering my true passion for writing. Today, I am a full-time screenwriter with my screenplays having placed in top competitions.
I have secured two options and a shopping agreement, and have been commissioned as a work-for-hire writer for both a feature and a short scripts by a prominent US production companies. Recently, I completed ghostwriting a feature screenplay for a US client and am currently commissioned to adapt an autobiography into a screenplay. Additionally, I offer script consultancy, providing insights and expertise to fellow writers.
I was born in Brazil and raised abroad by diplomat parents. This experience has equipped me with a broad perspective of the world's diverse cultures, which has had a significant influence on my writing.
I was selected to participate in the three-week Nostos Screenwriters Retreat in Italy, 2019, organized by writer and filmmaker, Nora Jaenicke and mentored by Irish screenwriter, filmmaker, and playwright Bryan Delaney.
Fun fact: Back in the day, I had the privilege of starring in a TV production titled "LAND OF SUNSHINE" alongside the remarkable Ms. Carol Sutton. This production aired in 1983 on WYES, New Orleans, LA, USA, providing me with valuable experience in the industry.
