Living in Canada for 12 years, Francisca has done several works in the area of visual effects. The most recent achievement is the participation in the production of the film "Resgate", premiered on the streaming platform.

In addition to this film, Luso-Angolan has worked with several renowned films: "Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulastic Emancipation of a Harley Quinn)", "Bloodshot", "Dora, the Explorer" and "Cats".

In an interview with Platinaline, Francisca Pimentel said that the Netflix production was full of "visual effects" and that although it took a lot of work, it "made up for the end result".

"Visual effects are a very important part of films and series because they work on fire, water and landscapes. Often the actors record in a studio and then the rest is added with the visual effects. In this film, specifically, a large part was recorded in the studio, since it is full of effects. I can say that, at the time, it was the biggest project of the company where I worked", he said.

Speaking about her adaptation to the film world, since her bases are in journalism, television and social media, Francisca revealed that the change was challenging, but that it helped her to grow.

"I think I'm the only Angolan and Portuguese woman working in this area in Canada. At least, I don't know any more, if I hadn't known, because this is not such a big world," she stressed.

Living more than 10 years away from her family, the Angolan says she misses those she left in Angola: "I have a lot of family there. Starting with my brother. I have uncles, aunts and cousins. And my parents have a house in Luanda. It is very difficult to stay away from the people we love. It's very hard to be away from Luanda and it's also hard to be away from Portugal, where I have my mother, my sisters and my nephews. It's not easy to be on the other side of the world, but we deal with homesickness, we keep in constant contact thanks to all the networks that allow us to communicate and always be connected".
