Hey friends, lovely to e-meet you!
I've been on this site a very long while now but never filled out all of these things. So no time like the present to start, hey?!

I'm Nessa and I make films about conformists who become unafraid to rebel against societal expectations and take charge of their own life.

I am the founder of The Retreat Productions and a the creator of The Hit R.E.S.E.T manifesto, which ensures that all of my productions are held to the highest degree of ethical standard.

When I'm not being an antsy traveller wanting to see the world and everything in it, you can find me up on stage performing stand up comedy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why am I on couchsurfing. Well... I've just began my journey as a digital nomad writing my film and TV shows and working as a freelance graphic design and content creator. I love meeting new people and I love exploring new (and well loved) places. So what better way to do that than a site like this?!

I'm currently looking for places in Los Angeles, where I'll be based from the end of October '22 until the end of January '23.

Having used this site an age ago to hang out with other creatives at a film festival here in the UK and having the best experience, I'm looking to repeat this during my time in LA. If this sounds like something you'd be up for, DM me and let's chat.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd be totally more than happy to provide a crash course in using Adobe Creative Suite - particularly Premiere Pro and Photoshop to give you enough of a skillset to be able to use those tools to make beautiful creations of your own.
