Raquel Sousa is a portuguese filmmaker and photographer based in Lisbon.

Born in 1992 in a small town in the north of Portugal, she grew up watching movies and playing with any cameras she could get her hands on. At the age of 17 she moved to Lisbon to pursue film studies. After dabbling in production, videography and other branches of filmmaking, she found the most creative fulfilment while directing.

In 2023 she won her first Award and gathered several nominations for her directorial debut “Komodo”. She has since then embraced several commercial projects, as well as taking part in long format films such as the critically acclaimed movie “The Black Sea” which premiered at SXSW festival in Austin, Texas in its 2024 edition.
