About João

My name is João Pedro Augusto and I am a portuguese independent filmmaker. After some time working for companies, I’ve decided to quit my job and start working on my own. As a freelancer filmmaker, I have special interest on direction of photography, editing and color grading. I love to hear special stories and to be able to tell them as good as they are. Picking the camera and capturing true moments and real emotions is what drives me to work better and better. My passion for sports and action gives me confidence and discipline to reach my goals. Of course, joining this to filmmaking would be a perfect combination.

João has been invaluable to the project and has been much more than a cameraman; he has acted as a producer in Lisbon for the project. I have approved all his deliverables which included voice-over narration from Farida and Zohra Ahmadi about the harrowing details of their escape from Afghanistan. -Beth

João is exceptional. His deliverables were complete on April 1st. I approved all the deliverables. We may need additional pickup work in Lisbon to contribute to the editing process. -Beth M.
