I make films that tell authentic stories inspired from real people's experiences.
"The films produced under Nora's guidance are so impressive and important. Each doc reveals the compassion, curiosity, and technological skills needed for filmmakers to tell stories that create conversations, and they are produced in just one week!"
Melody Gilbert, Documentary Filmmaker (USA)
"I’ve been following Nora’s workshops for nearly 10 years through my work at Moldox Festival, and I’ve never seen anyone as dedicated and passionate in their leadership. Nora works relentlessly to create a creative and productive environment where participants have the opportunity to produce truly impactful short films with important social messages."
Pontus Hjorthén, Documentary Filmmaker (Sweden)
"Thanks to Nora and her encouragement, I was able to develop my first documentary film on a complex subject that interests me. This experience currently motivates me to continue my creative process." Patricia Furnică, Workshop Participant
