Early life

In her childhood, Fernandes spent a lot of time reading and, at the age of 12, attempted to write a novel, though she quickly lost interest in writing and was drawn toward cinema, or specifically the idea of making a story "materialize."[3]
Career
Fernandes' short film, Nha Mila, premiered at the Locarno Film Festival and was nominated for a European Film Award. It also screened at over 40 festivals around the world.[3]
Her debut feature film, Hanami, premiered in the Cineasti del Presente Competition, won the Best Emerging Director Award, and a special mention in the First Feature Awards, at Locarno Film Festival.[3][4]
