DIRECTOR

Elisa is a director with roots in the vibrant creative landscape of Parsons School of Design in New York. Drawing from her background in Architecture, her films are marked by a distinct spatial sensitivity and a sculptural approach to storytelling. Her previous short, Angel in the House, received recognition across several New York film festivals for its quiet emotional power and visual rigor. With Common Ground, Elisa continues to explore the fragile intersections of identity, space, and memory through a lens that is both intimate and architectural.
