Bio

Leticia Agudo´s life and career has taken her from Seville in Spain to Ireland and from theatre to film. She went to the UK at 17 to pursue an education and career in the theatre and in 1997 moved to Dublin and co-founded Common Currency Theatre Company. After three years directing and producing for the stage, she went back into education, obtaining a Masters in Film Production by DIT to fulfil a life-long inclination to telling stories visually.
