Hi! I’m a portuguese documentary DP, editor and all-around content creator based in Lisbon, Portugal. I’ve worked professionally for 10+ years for video production companies based in Europe and the US. My latest freelance assignments include documentary and video-journalism work for clients such as Euronews, Voice of America, Culture Trip and Zoomin.tv. I’m completely at ease both working as a one-man-band in a run-and-gun scenario (camera, audio and lights, flying drones), or with a small crew on a well thought-out shoot. I thrive on fast-paced projects where efficient and quick decision-making is crucial, it’s where most of my experience lies. As a part-time musician and self-taught sound engineer, I also know that sound quality is critical for any production. I’m a certified English language user, which I speak and write as fluently as my mother tongue, Portuguese. I’m always up for a challenge, let’s make something good!

I am a filmmaker based in Lisbon and Nairobi. I primarily work as a videographer/director/ screenwriter of both documentary and fiction work . With my videography work, I have explored topics such as Gender and Sexuality, Health, Children's Rights, Leadership and Feminism, Maternal Health, and other social impact issues. My personal work centers around the gruesome yet sometimes beautiful complexities of human beings trying to survive the recognition of the inevitability of life and its ephemeral nature. Through the use of moving images and text, I delve into the realms of ecstatic truths, ancestral core wounds, mental health, youthful vibrancy, sexual ecstasy, and the mystical powers of music. My short film 'It must be in the attempt' was shown in Nairobi's Shots, Shorts and Shorts Film Festival and 'We both dream of waves' was shown by the international feminist organization CREA, Earth Pearl Collective’s Sovereign Film Festival 2020, and BAD REP Theatre's 2020 Winter Showcase in Berkeley, California. I am eager to grow my skills and broaden my portfolio by delving into diverse stories while adding depth to them from my understanding and background.

Being a son of an stunt man / athlete and brother of a commercial editor, I was influenced really early and started photography on my first reflex camera when I was only twelve years old. I later graduated from Humboldt University with a Master's Degree in Business Administration. And even though my academic degree wasn't directly related to filmmaking, I've always been surrounded by people that worked in film, where I was often helping out due to my interest in the field and made sure to be deeply involved into the creative processes, especially in my positions as a marketeer and / or business developer. I started off with shooting live recordings, music videos, aftermovies and commercials. In the year 2022 I was able to tick a short film (six official selections and two times semi-finalist) and a documentary off my bucket list, followed by a little cinema premiere in 2023. Today I mostly enjoy well lit interview set-ups on one hand and very dynamic, exciting, cinematically looking footage, that keeps the audience engaged, on the other. My dream is to shoot a feature film or season within the thriller / crime genre, but it may have a humoristic touch to it.
