Intro

Hi, I’m Leticia de Bortoli, a Brazilian writer, director, and sometimes‑DP.

Translating Feeling Into VisioN

As a writer and director, my work is fueled by a curiosity for life's gray areas. My projects dig into small moments of moral ambiguity, exploring how the same conflicting perspectives can be both heartbreaking, and very funny.

Narrative & Documentary — My narrative work finds emotion in the details. I pair sharp, naturalistic dialogue with an intimate, tactile visual style to explore the humor and heartbreak of modern human connection. From my SXSW-selected series QUEERING to my feature Two Weeks In, my focus is always on creating grounded and emotionally authentic stories.

Brand & Advertising — I bring the same human-centered storytelling to my commercial work. For partners like HubSpot, Im the creative director for video, translating complex  information into compelling visual narratives. By focusing on authentic stories, I create work for campaigns like the flagship Spotlight.
