Director Biography - Mariana Oliveira

Mariana Oliveira was born on August 3rd, 1999, in Amarante. Although she always had a fascination for art and everything that involves creativity and handwork, she opted for a scientific path. When she got to college she realized that maybe Sound and Image at Universidade Católica was the right option. During those three years she gave greater focus to animation cinema, thus creating the short film entitled “Olinda e Joaquim”. She currently seeks to include in her life all the activities that make her happy.
