Liliana Starck

Director, set decorator, stylist and production assistant

As an Australian and US citizen with 19 years of experience as an actor, I found my passion for directing and screenwriting while attending The American Academy of Dramatic Arts Conservatory in New York. After graduating in 2018, I immersed myself in screenwriting, playwriting, and any creative projects that came my way. Moving back to Australia in 2020 due to covid, I attended the Queensland University of Technology where I have since graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts New Media, majoring in filmmaking with a minor in creative writing. Since shifting behind the lens, I’ve found my true passion lies within directing, set design and styling.
