About the Director
With a background in writing, photography, performing arts and music, S.C. Teles took up the challenge to direct the short film ‘The Waters’ in the midst of the pandemic, and in a foreign language. Teles saw this story as one that she could empathize with, and could use her varied skills and experience to bring the film to fruition along with a small but dedicated team. She also worked on writing the script, and music vocals on this film.
