Hey! I'm a filmmaker from Aveiro now based in Porto, Portugal. That's what I'm genuinely excited about – DP and Color Grading.
In 2015, when I made what some might call "questionable life choices" on my path to a somewhat decent adult and after wrapping up a Biology degree in Aveiro (a lifelong dream), i said "fuck this" and ventured into a year of Communication and Multimedia Design in Coimbra. Spoiler alert: not the right fit either
Fast forward to the next chapter of questionable decisions: a Master's degree in General Design. Lesson learned – maybe school isn't everyone's thing; stick to YouTube kids.
In 2022, amid a fuck ton of job applications sans academic background and a small portfolio , the real win was landing a spot at Armazém Criativo, now the cool-kid hangout Unset Studio. They gave me a shot and that's where I got my hands dirty, learning to shoot and editing video for the first time.
Confession time: I'm obsessed with the least cool addiction – chocolate. Even coffee outranks it in the coolness factor, but I'm not a fan of that bean elixir. I only turn to it if I'm on the verge of collapse from the weight of my eye bags.
I hate Linkedin.
You'll usually find me in all-black – my unofficial uniform. But here's the twist – my home decor is like a mishmash of a child's dream and an acid addict's imagination. That's how I discovered I have the visual sensibility of an alt-lesbian (or maybe I'm just into art direction).
I'm a filmmaker, not an artists. I'd like to be one, but for now i guess i'm not. It's like my brain tackles things in a mechanic, math-y, puzzle-solving way to turn a not-so-great image or edit into something I actually like.
Oh, and this text? It's 2024, Chat GPT did the heavy lifting. I'm not winning any copywriting awards either. It's all a bit messy, a bit chocolate-stained, but hey, I can delegate tasks.
