Called by Scorsese's Taxi Driver and Raging Bull cinematographer "the best screenwriter since (Paul) Schrader", and an alumna of New York University's film school like Scorsese, Woody Allen, Spike Lee and Oliver Stone, Heather Ferreira is a film director, cinematographer, screenwriter and editor. Ferreira is African-American, Asian and Italian. She believes (the) "Italian heritage informs my filmmaking style most. I have a strongly visual style, I'm not afraid of blood. Violence is part of life and cinema should be true to that. Violence, passion and revenge - these are human realities but we hide them. And what is hidden, what people fear and what society doesn't want to see - interests me."
Production is fully underway on Movieopolis. Heather has been tapped by HBO's most successful producer to possibly write/direct for his upcoming series, based on one of her screenplays. She is the 2012 winner of the Lucerne International Film Festival's Award of Merit and lives and works in Los Angeles.
