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. Since then she directed and edited fiction shorts and worked as production manager.
In 2006 she founded Whackala with Paul McGrath to produce their own projects. Their first was the award-winning documentary After the Revolution for Spanish Canal Sur TV, which Leticia directed and edited, followed by the award-winning short doc Forty Foot. She has just finished her first feature doc as co-director, City Wild, and is currently finishing two new docs for Irish broadcasters and is developing a new international documentary with Spain´s Imago Producciones.
