Roberta Cortella

Roberta is a screenwriter, film consultant and director. Read More

She has been implementing a solid 20 years of experience making documentaries and docu-series for a variety of production companies. (Blu Film, L’Immagine, Felix Film, Terra, Planeta Azul, Stemal Entertainment). She initially improved her skills as film consultant, delivering key support to other authors and filmmakers. She collaborated in the development of initial stories and concepts into production-feasible fully planned projects.

She gradually moved to scriptwriting and in the last decade she has been writing subjects and scripts for documentaries and docu-series that also directed. Most of her works have been broadcasted by Italian and international channels (Television de Castilla, Television de Canarias, Rai, National Geographic International, Yle, Arte).

She initially focused mostly on subjects related with nature, environment and anthropology; later on she moved to character-driven subjects with strong human content. During the years she has been refining her interest for social issues and innovative points of view. This took her to write and direct the documentary-film “Walking on the right path” and the docu-series “Boez Andiamo Via“ and “Boez Andiamo Via“, a Rai Fiction-Stemal Entertainmet co-production, with the collaboration of the Ministry of Justice.

What she mostly looks for is to conceive stories that explore internal conflicts; stories that are able to bring back memories and emotions; stories that can educate, entertain and make the difference.
