AdrianaYanez

Director, Academia de Filmes Brazil

Adriana studied Communication and later Documentary in São Paulo and at the International School of Cinema and TV (Cuba).

Interested in the frontiers between fiction and non-fiction, she believes that real characters are the most enchanting raw material for creating narratives. She has been dedicating herself to the study of drama and script from her work with characters and stories from real life for ten years.

In that time, she has been working as a director and screenwriter in selected documentary films for major festivals, entertainment projects for MTV, ESPN, SporTV, TV Globo - and in films for brands such as Electrolux, Canon, Nivea, Nike, Mastercard and L'Occitane, that added millions of views on social networks. The making of stories that invite intimacy and emotion inscribe the language of her work.
