Valeria

Valeria Di Pasquale likes to say that she goes for breadth of knowledge - rather than depth - in most things in life. She grew up in Rome, Italy, where she studied piano, singing, dance and theatre from a young age. She moved to the UK for University, where she achieved a BA in English and Related Literature, a Graduate Diploma in Law, and an MA in Film. She is a self-taught visual artist, using both traditional and digital techniques. She is a sporadic poet, occasional singer and rare filmmaker. She is one of the founding members and programmers for the Starling Short Film Festival, and is proud to be a founding member of Up Front.
