IB Film Educator • Filmmaker • Storyteller based in Paris
I’m Erick Pessôa, international educator and filmmaker based in Paris with over 20 years of experience in cinema and in the classroom. I direct short films, teach IB Film, and lead filmmaking workshops around the world, all while mentoring the next generation of storytellers. I created Clash of the Titans, a 48-hour student film challenge that turns the streets of Paris into a cinematic playground. Formerly on track to become a diplomat, I chose editing timelines over political ones, and never looked back. My work lives at the intersection of storytelling, education, and artistic exploration.
