Patricia Delso Lucas

Patricia Delso Lucas is an independent film writer-director. She was born in Madrid in 1980 and has been living in Brussels since 2013. In 2010 she graduated from the Skillset Screen Academy Scotland, with a MFA in Film Directing. Her debut in cinema-making were in creative documentaries. Her graduation work, an autobiographical documentary, titled "Just to call you dad", was nominated at the BAFTA Scotland New Talent Awards in 2010. Then, she participated in various international workshops focusing on fiction cinema: in screenwriting at New York University and Sundance Shorts Lab, in film directing at Prague Film School and London Film School, in cinematography at Global Cinematography Institute in Los Angeles and Maine Media Workshops, USA, and finally in directing actors with Beatriz Flores Silva in Brussels. Her work expands from narrative drama to audiovisual poems, including dark comedy, western, experimental and documentary. The stories she feels drawn to write and film are strongly character driven and the audiovisual universe she builds around them often has a thin line between the real and the unreal.
