About
I grew up surrounded by my mother's paintings and my father's films, recreating my favorite movie scenes with my first handycam. In high school, I traded poetry essays for short films and talked my teachers into letting me shoot a horror short overnight, inside the school.
A graduate of the National Film Conservatory in Lisbon, I directed experimental shorts screened at Fantasporto and Festival Microfilmes de Lisboa, before moving into the world of advertising, where I started as an assistant director and quickly refined my skills in directing, cinematography and editing.
Amor, a film about Alzheimer's disease, was my first campaign and received international recognition, featured by Shots. Since then, I've directed campaigns for brands such as CR7 Fragrances, Binance, NOS, Betclic and Luso, and photographed for Super Bock, Continente, Novobanco and IKEA.
My first TV limited series, Finisterra, was written and directed with Guilherme Branquinho. A co-production between Take It Easy (Portugal), Wild Fang Films (Luxembourg) and Pixable Studios (Germany), with support from RTP and the Portuguese Film Institute. It won Netflix and the Portuguese Film Institute's Writing and Script Development contest and was awarded Most Promising Project at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival. The series had its preview at MOTELX before airing on RTP1 and RTP Play in Portugal, as well as on RTL Luxembourg.
