SANDRA VOLCERE

I am filmmaker and educator with a passion for documentary and screenwriting and an interest in fiction. I have a rich background, with strong skills in leadership, teaching, writing and filmmaking.

Before completing an MA in filmmaking at Kingston University, for which I achieved a Distinction, I had been a teacher for 12 years, coordinating all media work for five years at a central London school. I taught GCSEs, A-levels, BTEC and Film on the International Baccalaureate. My focus as an educator is in film and media more generally.

I've been Managing Editor at a newspaper based in the Seychelles and made documentary films for local television.

I have been impacted by the idea of being an 'other' personally and this is reflected in my work.

I started a production company called Margo Kreol Productions Ltd. I make films, produce a podcast called Planet Diaspora, blog and manage a heritage organisation called The Kreol Cultural Club, which I set up in 2012. I write and produce, edit, direct and host digital audio visual content that, I hope, informs and inspires.
