GEORGIA FERNANDES
CO-WRITER
Georgia Fernandes is currently studying architecture at Syracuse University, New York.
Georgia began writing scripts as a hobby during the pandemic. After realizing the impact film had on communities in Kenya and around the world, she wanted to create films that would do the same and make people think, feel, and imagine. Whereas some
stories create feel-good experiences- some are more of a raw insight into what it means to be a woman living in this world. After listening to true stories of the resilience and bravery that many young girls had, she knew she had to tell their story, and so Mercy was born.
