Rotterdam Lab

Raquel Pedreira

Originally from Galicia, Raquel Pedreira has developed her studies and career in Madrid and Leuven. She has many years of experience in the industry working for other companies in different roles, from financing to distribution to post-production and everything in between, while producing short films as an independent. After being part of Madrid ECAM’s Incubator, attending the Eave Marketing Workshop, Locarno Pro’s Match me! and Rotterdam Lab, she feels ready to start producing feature films. Convinced of the transformative power of fiction, she produces content with whose message she feels aligned to connect new and established authors with their audience.
