Andriana Parisi is a Greek screenwriter, creator, and entrepreneur, born and raised in Thessaloniki, Greece. Her work is driven by a deep respect for storytelling as a vessel for meaning, memory, and human connection, drawing inspiration from classical Greek thought and contemporary cinematic language.

In 2009, following the U.S. recession and shortly before the Greek financial crisis, Andriana relocated to the United States in pursuit of creative transformation. Her journey took her from New York to Hawaii and ultimately to Los Angeles, where she trained in cinema and television. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Cinema & Television Arts from California State University, Northridge in 2019, graduating Summa Cum Laude, and later completed a Master of Arts in Financial Economics from California State University, Los Angeles in 2026, graduating Magna Cum Laude.

Her academic excellence has been recognized with multiple scholarships, including a distinguished award from the CTVA Department at CSU Northridge, supported by Jean Picker Firstenberg, former CEO and Director of the American Film Institute, who later became her mentor.

Alongside her creative path, Andriana has professional experience in accounting and business consulting, bringing a strong sense of structure, strategy, and realism to her work without defining her artistic voice.

She is the founder of AspisNet, a developing creative studio and long-term entertainment initiative through which she creates original board game concepts, screenplays, and transmedia storytelling projects. Several of her original ideas are in early development for potential screen adaptation, with a focus on family-centered storytelling, resilience, faith, and legacy.

Andriana has worked as a writer, director, and producer on independent short films and web series and is a member of multiple academic and professional societies supporting excellence and leadership in the arts. Her broader creative vision includes socially conscious documentary projects that explore education, family, and women’s health, aiming to combine storytelling with meaningful impact.

A multilingual mother of three, Andriana continues to create across disciplines while balancing artistic practice, academic research, entrepreneurship, and family life. She believes storytelling should not only entertain but also illuminate truth, strengthen human bonds, and help future generations thrive.
