Profile picture of Juliana Venturini

I'm an Animator, Filmmaker and Visual Artist, being particularly interested in stop motion, mixed media and traditional animation, prop and puppet making, and mixing different 2D and 3D techniques. I'm very keen on storytelling and experimentation.

Besides “Portraits?”, I also directed the animated films “Abstrata”, “Once Upon My Life”, “Scavengers” and co-directed “That’s My Biscuit!”, most of which have been in festivals worldwide with some awards.
