We are thrilled to welcome Carla Shah into our team! With over 10 years experience under her belt, Carla is coming on board as our new Development and Production Assistant.
Carla began her filmmaking career in Rio de Janeiro working as a self-shooting director/producer and editor. Born in Tokyo and raised in Rome, Scotland is now her home and where she caught the documentary bug! Carla is drawn to stories about collaboration and belonging in the most unlikely places.
Along with a BA in Social Anthropology from the LSE, Carla recently received a distinction in her MA in documentary filmmaking from the Edinburgh College of Art. Her short documentary The Tomorrow That’ll Come screened in the Edinburgh International Film Festival and was funded by the Bridging the Gap program lead by the Scottish Documentary Institute and Screen Scotland.
Carla recently re-watched Gabrielle Brady’s Island of the Hungry Ghosts and can’t wait to sink her teeth into The Wolves Always Come at Night Brady’s newest feature doc. When she is not making films or playing with her two daughters, Carla likes to get lost in the city of Edinburgh thrifting for books and oddities.
