Artist and film director, Maria Corriàs studied interior design at the Massana School, where she developed a personal interest and a unique approach to staging and set design. In 2017, she completed her graduation project, entitled 'Jesús de Nazaret: espacios de un proyecto fílmico', in which she studied the never made feature film proposed by C.T. Dreyer and suggested a series of spaces for its theoretical completion. In 2019, she earned a Master's in Art Direction at ESCAC, collaborating as art director in several short films, some of which have been screened at festivals. Her interest in filmmaking prompted her to begin writing her own stories and her short film script 'Quan soparem ja s’haurà fet tard' was short-listed (from among over 60 candidates) for the third edition of Acció Curts, an advice, training and pitching initiative which aims to give voice to new filmmakers. Since then, she has collaborated with the Dones Visuals Association, a group of over 400 professional women from all areas of the film industry which aims to redress the existing situation of gender inequality in the audiovisual field. Since the end of 2020, she has been a member of the Acció Estudi Commission, where she works to promote the ongoing study of women's situation in the audiovisual industry in order to establish strategies for change. In September 2020, she was awarded a scholarship to study a Master's in Film Directing at ESCAC, where she is currently continuing her training as a filmmaker.
