About this episode
Patricia Vidal Delgado is a film director and writer from Lisbon, Portugal. Only recently having graduated from the MFA program in Production/Directing at UCLA, Patricia has already been featured in some of the world's most prestigious film festivals. Most recently, Patricia's first feature film, La Leyenda Negra, which also happened to be her UCLA thesis project, made its World Premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. The film was also a Top 20 Finalist for the Roy W. Dean Grant.
In this conversation, Patricia and I discuss how she got into directing, the most valuable lessons she has learned along the way, and how she took her first feature film, using actors from a local high school, from a school project to the Sundance Film Festival.
