About me

I began studying film at Universidade Moderna de Lisboa enrolling in the Cinema, Television and Commercials course.

Determined to expand my horizons I went to Denmark where I graduated from The European Film College.

Upon graduation I went back to Portugal where I directed my first independent work.

Two feature length documentaries followed, in which I did both cinematography and editing, the latest took me for more than once to California where I edited a total of three feature length documentaries.

It was also in California that I did the cinematography for a documentary series, a project which got me to know the state as few have a chance to.

I eventually invited my former colleagues Kris Skovmand and Samuel Anderson to move to Portugal from their native countries, Denmark and USA respectively, and together founded Skookum Films.

Together we made the short film The Headless Nun, an international collaboration narrated by Patrick Carlin, George Carlin's brother, and featuring a song by Frank Zappa.

I also directed an experimental music short film starring the New York duo Tribal Baroque, formed by musicians Thoth and Lila Angelique.

I then began the first partnership with the actor João Craveiro, directing him in the short film Bílis Negra.

I was then invited to edit the short film Passagens by Maria Emília de Azevedo in Florianópolis, Brazil.

It was there that I directed the Brazilian-Portuguese short film A Lagoa produced by Maria Emília de Azevedo.

That same year I went back to Portugal where I shot a science fiction short film which I wrote and directed, Earth 2084, starring Fernando Luís.

I have also been a guest speaker and film festival jury member in different occasions and different locations.

My films have been shown in over 150 festivals from all continents and have been awarded several different awards.

I presently work on new projects, keeping my philosophy that in both art and the world, there are no boundaries.
