Why you should consider working with a film director?

For nearly 20 years I’ve worked as a film director and filmmaker based in Lisbon, Portugal, creating fiction, documentary, music videos, advertising, corporate and promotional films for brands, artists, agencies and producers in Portugal and abroad.

A director turns an idea or script into an emotionally engaging visual story. My role is to connect the narrative, the image and the performances so the film has a clear voice, strong point of view and consistent style — whether it’s a feature, a social piece or a corporate film.

Shape the story and creative vision

  • Develop the concept:refine the idea, treatment or script so the story is clear, focused and aligned with your goals.
  • Define style and tone:visual language, rhythm, sound and music that give each project a distinct cinematic identity.
  • Adapt to formats:tailor the directing approach for fiction, documentary, branded content, music videos or corporate communications.

Guide performances and real people

  • Direct actors and non-actors:natural, believable performances that serve the story.
  • Collaborative set:calm, respectful environment so everyone delivers their best.
  • Authenticity with structure:interviews and scenes feel spontaneous while supporting the film’s arc.

Lead the creative and technical team

  • Work with key departments:DoP, production design, sound, editing and color all aligned to the same vision.
  • From prep to post:breakdowns, shot lists, rehearsals, locations, shooting and edit supervision.
  • Consistency across deliverables:coherent narrative and look for multi-asset campaigns.

Directing across genres and formats

  • Narrative fiction:shorts, features and series
  • Creative documentaries and hybrid forms
  • Music videos and performance films
