Director Biography - Morgan Quashie, Sofia Falconi

Morgan Quashie is a British-born mixed-race filmmaker of White and Black-Caribbean heritage. After ravenously self-teaching himself as much as he could about film production - including solo-shooting multiple short films and documentaries - Morgan enrolled into Central Film School's Practical Filmmaking BA in 2021, where he is now training to become a Director of Photography. His favourite films include Barry Jenkins' 'Moonlight' and Denis Villenueve's 'Blade Runner 2049', and he will endlessly defend the merits of 'High School Musical 2'.

Sofia Falconi is a Swiss-born Italian filmmaker who currently resides in London. Enrolling onto Central Film School's Practical Filmmaking BA in 2021, Sofia aims to emulate the magic of the 60s European cinema that she loves in her directorial outings. Her favourite films include Fellini's 'La Dolce Vita' as well as Wong Kar-Wai's 'In the Mood for Love'. If Sofia was an action figure, her catchphrase would be "oh man, I need a coffee!"
