Jovanna Tosello is an award-winning, Brazilian-American filmmaker based in New York. Her approach to filmmaking is as unique and unusual as it is compelling. Characterized by a fearless pursuit of the strange and extraordinary, her work consistently diverges from the mundane, venturing into realms that ignite the imagination. While often offbeat and humorous, her films delve into the complexities of life, exploring themes of transformation, resilience, and the often-blurred line between reality and fantasy.

Her debut short film, “The Magical Theater” won best short film at the Los Angeles Animation Film festival, and has been invited to screen at film festivals across the globe. The film was a bold experiment in narrative and visual storytelling. The film’s distinct, idiosyncratic style utilized the power of animation not just as a medium, but as a window into the soul of storytelling.
