About me
Based in Porto, Portugal. B.A. in Audiovisual Communication Technologies, magna cum laude, from IPP.
My work is split between Film Directing and Film Editing. I've directed three short films, all of which have been selected and screened at prestigious Film Festivals, such as Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (Oscar Qualifying), Norwich Film Festival (BAFTA Qualifying), MecalPro (Goya Qualifying), MotelX, Caminhos do Cinema Português, CRASH, FICBC, Leiria Film Fest, Deep in the Heart and several others. I've also been nominated for Best Student FictionShort Film by the Portuguese Film Academy.
With a deep passion for authoral filmmakers, my influences are eclectic and authors like Abbas Kiarostami, Michael Haneke, Pedro Costa and Walter Murch guide my authoral work.

Past Projects
For the past couple of years I've collaborated with several directors and companies. As 1st AD, I've collaborated with José Alberto Pinheiro in the film "A Vida Fantástica de Sofia", for FilmesDaMente, and Rui Pedro Lamy in the documentaries "O Projeto Literário" and "Atrás dos Tempos", for LX Filmes and ETHNO. During 2021, I've also collaborated with Estúdio Imigrante in several curated projects. Since 2022 I've been working closely with Nuno Bernardo in his projects, editing my first feature film "Colégio do Templo: Paramnésia", and, in 2023, I’ve edited my first series, “Musika Peripherika”. I have also been collaborating with HOP!Filmes in developing new TV series for their slate, after their resounding success with Cuba Libre.

Currently
My present slate of projects is wide and diverse. I am working on my latest short-film, funded by ICA and Fundação GDA and produced by OPTEC Filmes and Agente a Norte, Consolatio. Simultaneously, I’m developing my first feature film Jean Sem Medo, produced by Agente a Norte and co-written with J. L. Peixoto, already selected for the prestigious Screenwriting Festival GUIÕES. Also, in collaboration with J. L. Peixoto and HOP!Filmes, I am currently developing a fictional series named “Crude”, loosely based on the Prestige Oil Tanker Disaster, 20 years ago.
