Anna Carvalho, a multilingual and award-winning actress, director, producer, and writer, boasts a rich portfolio with over 60 films and TV series. Her involvement spans across notable projects, many of which have earned nominations and awards, securing positions in major festivals worldwide.
With a profound passion for the arts, Anna has cultivated her education and career in diverse global locations, including Portugal, the USA, England, Italy, and Spain. In 2002, she earned her degree in Audiovisuals, followed by a distinguished Master's in Performing Arts in 2013. Her personal project, "Death Cabaret," a production she co-wrote, produced, and acted in for her Master's degree, enjoyed a year-long run throughout Portugal.
Anna's professional journey includes significant roles as a producer for TV shows and commercials, as well as a director for theatrical plays. Her written contributions extend to numerous published articles in the "Inside" newspaper and the Blog D'Magia (Theatre, Music, and Cinema).
Devoted to the principles of diversity and inclusion, Anna not only upholds these values in her personal life but also integrates them into the projects she undertakes.
The creation of the psychological thriller "Red Roses Never Die" stems from my profound fascination with the human mind, particularly delving into the enigmatic realm of schizophrenia. Regrettably, my familiarity with this mental illness runs deep due to a close family member's experience.
While the narrative is a work of fiction, it draws inspiration from real-life events that have profoundly shaped my understanding. Some aspects of the story may be challenging for certain individuals to comprehend, mirroring the complexity of the subject matter.
Through extensive research and conversations with psychologists, I've come to recognize that none of us is immune to witnessing the unraveling of a loved one's mind. It's a moment that alters the course of an entire life.
