Adie Obieta

Adie Obieta was born and raised in Los Angeles and is currently a Freshman at Chapman University where she is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Screenwriting.

She said: “I believe the Vance Byrd program can provide me with access to materials and opportunities that can help guide me in this industry. Having worked with BAFTA before and seeing the quality of their work first-hand, I know that this program is spectacular.”

Adie has had an interest in film and television since she was a child growing up with the industry within arm’s reach in Los Angeles. She has always gravitated towards films that delve into deeper themes and emotions like La La Land and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. “My dream is becoming a screenwriter and getting to work on TV shows and movies that I am proud of creating; letting my creativity guide me throughout my career would be a privilege”, she said.
