Erica Sarah Carrubba: Italo-American multidisciplinary creative

Neurodivergent, quadrilingual multidisciplinary creative with a sensorial approach to storytelling. I blend rhythm, fashion, and narrative design to craft emotionally resonant experiences.
Born in California, raised in Italy, with a decade in London and now based in Paris, I bring a deeply personal and global perspective to my work—spanning award-winning films, sustainable fashion innovations, and choreographed campaigns that challenge convention. With a background across film, fashion and performance, I create stories that don’t just speak—they move.

As a music lover and dancer, I ingeniously utilises music and rhythm not only to choreograph and direct the actors on set but also to facilitate the development of the characters, even if music might not ultimately be included in the final film.

I graduated from Central Saint Martins in London with a BA in Performance: Design & Practice and trained at HomeStudio with acting coach Laurence Mitchell. This training significantly shaped my approach to directing actors, influencing how she brings performances to life and deepening her focus on emotional range and character development.

"Il Perché" [Why], won multiple awards worldwide, including Best Experimental Short and Best Woman Short at the Indie Film Fest, Best Experimental Short at FICOCC, selected for the San Francisco Frozen Film Festival and Female Eye Film Festival.

My background is in fashion, where I worked as a creative director. I was the founder, creative director and editor of ESC Magazine, an arts and fashion magazine which focused on creating atmospheres through colour palettes to trigger sensorial reactions.

I am currently working freelance, while writing my first feature film and developing sustainable workwear for women in film.
