My name is Vania and I am an aspiring filmmaker/storyteller. I love a good story that relates to the people in our times and generation - one that seeks to represent, empathise and build bridges between people. Not just that, but stories and perspectives that challenge my own beliefs and thinking are that which I seek to understand as well.

 

I do believe that storytelling is powerful and that we live, breathe and feed on stories. That said, I also strongly believe that valuing people is as important as having good stories. Building meaningful relationships - even working relations, is an integral part of the work that I do.

 

As an ambivert, I possess good interpersonal skills to manage relations well, yet also getting the job done. I value teamwork highly and am always interested in seeking growth for a whole team of people. At the same time, I can also work in solitude - writing, editing. I am highly adaptable to different situations, whichever that is the most productive. When given the opportunity, I can contribute in idea generation, but would always honour the final decision and vision of the key stakeholders.

 

I am currently interested in areas such as producing, editing and writing. I do hope to direct one day too.

​

Some other fun and random information about myself: 

I love a good ol' walk in a park or some teh at a kopitiam with a book and my journal to decompress. A good, meaningful conversation with a friend is great too. 

​

I get inspired mostly through conversations, listening to people's stories or when I'm chilling alone by the park.
