Trivia
Sara Eustaquio shot at 14 her first short film, 'Elizabeth', a homemade fiction narrative about teenage bullying, with a small digital camera. The project began as a simply artistic presentation for an English class in high school. The enthusiasm with which it was received led her to upload it on YouTube. Surprisingly, the video reached over 10,000 views in the first days. After 'Elizabeth', she was invited to get involved in several video productions for local schools and youth associations in Portugal and in some projects of Human Lab Corporation (HLC Studios), a new international film company based in India. In April 2016, at 16, she shot 4242 (2016), her first short fiction narrative film, inspired by true events. In August 2016, she shot 'Mirror' (2016), a micro horror short fiction narrative film, produced at New York Film Academy, in New York City.
