Neurodivergent and quadrilingual, Erica is a multidisciplinary filmmaker and performer exploring storytelling through a deeply sensorial lens. Born in California, raised in Italy, with a decade in London, and now based in Paris, her work reflects a personal and cross-cultural perspective.

At just 18, I founded ESC Magazine, an arts and fashion publication letting you experience art through colours and sounds on paper, to trigger sensorial reactions.

In 2021 I graduated from Central Saint Martins  in Performance: Design & Practice, while training in acting at HomeStudio with acting coach Laurence Mitchell —an experience that continues to shape my intuitive, body-led approach to directing and working with performers.

During my studies, I began working in film as a DIT assistant on major productions like House Of The Dragons (HBO), Pistol (Disney) and Ted Lasso, developing a grounded understanding of the filmmaking process.

My short film "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.

As a music lover and dancer, I utilise 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.

With my directing work I seek to engage the viewer on a sensual and sensorial level, using light, movement and colour as tools to access inner states.

I am currently writing my first feature film and mini-series and developing sustainable workwear for women in film.
