Giada learnt to speak German for the role of party girl "Patricia" and appeared regularly until 2003. Her directing debut was a short documentary exploring religions and what they all had in common, whilst in her first year at St.Martin's College of Art in 1996.

Hungerford Director: Giada DobrzenskaOne of my favorite shorts was MY LOVER, MY UMBRELLA - about a woman who loses her umbrella one day and really misses it. A weird little movie, very surreal... but still very involving. The darned thing is in French, but the story is told visually so language doesn't matter. She goes into a cafe where everyone is debating philosophy... I thought this was going to be another one of those pretentious short films. Just when the I had reached my breaking point for philosophical subtitles, she leaves the cafe... but can't find her umbrella. Some other customer in the cafe has taken it! She gets drenched walking home from the cafe. Every where she goes, it is pouring rain... rain drips through the ceiling of her house and she has buckets all over the place. She really needs that umbrella! When she goes outside in the rain, everyone around her carries an umbrella... does one of them have her umbrella's distinctive handle? We are on the lookout for her missing umbrella... just as she is! When she passes a dumpster with the skeleton of an umbrella protruding from it, we think "There it is! Look in the dumpster!" The story surrounds her with umbrellas which might be hers. She is a woman who has lost her lover in the city of romance... well, a woman who has lost her umbrella in a city of rain. The woman eventually finds her umbrella... in the hands of another woman! When a cat fight erupts over the umbrella, we completely understand (even though it would be silly if we were looking at the incident as OUTSIDERS). We would fight for the umbrella, too. We know how important that umbrella is to her, WE have been searching for it the whole darned movie, too! She finally regains her umbrella, and they live happily ever after. I loved how the movie made fun of pretentious films by using silly symbolism. It was beautiful to look at, too! Lots of reflective puddles and great B&W cinematography. -William C Martell Raindance Film Festival**************************************************** **************So much effort for so slight an endeavour. I'm not knocking it; I only wish Mon Amour Mon Parapluie were longer. The short film looks terrific with crisp, superbly framed black and white photography-a waterlogged waif whose world crumbles after she loses her umbrella-and confident production values, including music and set design. It's largely wordless in a Euro-minimalist kind of way, and shot through with pleasant ambiguity. The minimalism is a problem, though, since it requires generous time and space to be effective, a difficult task for a 10-minute film regardless of its poetic aims. But see it anyway, if only to be impressed with its overall loveliness, and if you've got lots of money, give it to director Giada Dobrzenska and the crew so they can make a feature. -Barry Link, Vancouver Courier***************************************************** ********************************8"One of the most stunning productions of any length to be made in Vancouver this year."- David Spaner, The Province
