About
Joséfa is a French writer-director/editor based in Glasgow, Scotland, where she co-founded Shakehaus, a production company in 2016. Her short film EVENT HORIZON has been distributed in French cinemas by L’Agence du Court Métrage and TOMORROW MIGHT BE THE DAY, was commissioned by the Scottish Film Talent Network in 2018. Joséfa was also selected to the Edinburgh International Film Festival Talent lab that same year.
DIRECTOR:
In 2019, her first feature project AURORA’S SKIES received funding for development from SFTN and her second project THE LAST KIND was selected to EIFF’s Talent Lab Connects. In 2020, Aurora’s Skies was selected for the fourth edition of the European development programme LESS IS MORE. Her latest short film "KINGS OF THE COURT" is currently in post-production (2023).
Joséfa is fascinated by outer space which inspires her to write speculative and grounded sci-fi stories, primarily targeted toward younger audiences. She loves coming-of-age stories and wants to tell the tales of smart but awkward female characters.
EDITOR:
A multi-skilled editor with extensive post-production experience.
Her strengths lie in her versatility and creativity as well as methodical and efficient tech problem-solving skills. After working on low-budget projects for over a decade, from corporate to broadcast, she is looking to transfer her skills to longer form and higher-end productions.
Experienced working with all major NLEs and collaborating with small and large teams, in-house, on-set and remotely.
Based in Glasgow, UK / Strasbourg, France. Experienced with children.
Available for Commercial work.
