My name is Andrea Pestana and I attend Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Newmarket Ontario. I traditionally adapt stories from books, movies, and theatre productions to scripts for the stage or screen. I also enjoy writing original stories and scripts. I dream of making quality films that provoke thought and conversation that will somehow benefit the world.
