Maria Calado

Maria Calado is a writer and director working in narrative and experimental film. Her work centers on intimacy, power, and psychological fracture, often focusing on characters navigating shame, desire, and emotional extremity. She is drawn to projects that sit between realism and abstraction. With restrained dialogue and physical performance, she places the audience inside a character’s interior state using a subjective perspective.

She founded All The Ways Entertainment. She has developed work recognized by international festivals and industry platforms. She collaborates with creatives across the UK, Europe, and the United States.
