I'm Carla. Two years ago, I realized I had been passively watching my life unfold. Thanks to therapy, I've begun to feel alive at 33 and decided to leave my career as a Marketing Manager in Brazil to follow my true calling.
Since childhood, creating stories has brought me comfort and belonging. Influenced by superhero tales and characters from shows like Friends, I've learned to navigate my emotions.
Now, I want to share my stories with the world. After ten years battling depression and anxiety, I understand the power of storytelling. If my work can help even one girl feel less alone, then I’ve achieved my goal as a writer/director.
