Leticia Agudo

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 theatre and then moved to Dublin to co-found Common Currency Theatre Company. After three years directing and producing for the stage, she went back into education, obtaining a Masters in Film Production to fulfil a life-long inclination to telling stories visually. In 2006 she founded Whackala with Paul McGrath to produce their own developed 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”. “City Wild” followed, which she co-directed and most recently “Land of Amber”, which received support from the Simon Cumbers Media Fund. Both City Wild and Land of Amber are being distributed by ID Communications. She’s currently developing a new international documentary with Spain’s Imago Producciones and getting back into fiction writing and directing. She is a member of the European Documentary Network, the Screen Directors Guild of Ireland and of Screen Producers Ireland with Whackala. lagudo@cdcfe.com
