writer + director + production designer + actor
Adriana can focus on a task more effectively if she’s listening to Sean Paul’s, ‘Get Busy’. But that’s exactly what she needs to maintain the cosmic rotation of things she has in the air. Master juggler of the multi-hyphenate career path, Adriana can be found behind, in front and inside the camera at any given moment. Known for her enlarged heart and all seeing eye, she’s made a name for herself as a performance and design focused director, while production designing for numerous independent Canadian films that have drawn praise at festivals across the world, including TIFF, AFI, and CANNES. Proven calm enough to meditate next to a tarantula, Adriana was one of two Canadian filmmakers selected to join Apichatpong Weerasethakul in the Yucatán jungle for an experimental filmlab last summer.
Her most recent directing work includes music videos for Warner Bros. artist Diamond Cafe - ‘When you Can’t Resist.' and canadian independent artist Sophia Stel with ‘The Bus’ in 2023. Adriana’s first short film ‘MAUNDY’ went to the 75th Annual Festival de Cannes with Telefilm Canada’s: Not short on talent programme in 2022.
You can also catch Adriana throwing Bananas while giving financial advice to the Captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs on TV’s across North America this fall.
