Bruna Arbex is a Brazilian-Canadian filmmaker, editor, and director based in Vancouver. Her work blends grounded realism with subtle surrealism, often exploring alienation, identity, performance, and the tension between intimacy and spectacle.
With over a decade of experience across narrative, documentary, and commercial projects, Bruna has edited and produced feature films, including the TELUS documentary Heard, and co-produced the indie feature Crawdaddy. She has directed branded and campaign work for clients such as Absolut Vodka and Hershey, bringing a cinematic sensibility to commercial storytelling.
Her narrative work leans into psychological realism with restrained genre elements, drawing influence from European arthouse cinema. She is currently developing her debut feature, I Used to Be Me, a character-driven story about parasocial obsession and identity collapse, and continues to build long-form projects that interrogate cultural myth-making and social disconnection.
