Joana Barra Vaz

Joana Vaz is a highly talented writer, director and editor based in Lisbon. We’ve been collaborating with Joana for a few years now and we can’t have enough of her. Joana graduated from the National Film School (ESTC) in Lisbon back in 2006 and soon she started documenting bands and developing original scripts. And that’s when we met Joana. Since then we have 2 music-documentaries in post-production and other projects on the go. When not busy with LSP projects, Joana takes piano lessons and teaches music to kids.

A Música Portuguesa A Gostar dela Própria is an online web series of Portuguese Bands playing acoustic by Tiago Pereira and Joana Barra Vaz. Here we see João Correia + António V. Dias from Julie & the Carjackers. Shot 14 of March 2011 in Joana's building. You can follow this show on Vimeo or Facebook.
