I’m Lana Soreni, a 23-year-old screenwriter and director from Hamburg, Germany.

 

Ever since I was little, I was passionate about movies and creating my own. Whether if it was writing screenplays, directing or editing movies. I’ve always been certain about my career path, as it has always been my dream.

 

After graduating from high school in 2019, I enrolled in university the same year to study Digital Film Production at the SAE Institute. Since then, I've been involved in various film projects, including both my personal projects and contributions to others’, gaining valuable experience along the way. I obtained my SAE-Diploma degree in 2021 and completed my Bachelor of Arts in 2022. Currently, I work as a director and concept developer at a film production company, while continuing to pursue my own independent projects alongside.
