Above all, I consider myself a videographer. But more than that, I am passionate about stories and the power of narratives. In 2011 I started my journey within Psychology, where I learned different tools, including listening and group and team management. For my graduation final work, I directed and shot a mini-documentary, at which point I was already migrating my interest from psychology to filmmaking. This drift shaped me as a person and made me even more passionate about the stories and events that mark everyone's life.
By the way, I am 30 years old, currently living in Cascais Portugal. I was born in Italy, but for a long time I lived in Brazil. In addition, I am fluent in English and Portuguese.
I started my path in the audiovisual industry as an assistant at Zepp Filmes in 2015, while still doing my Psychology degree. It was through Zepp that I had the opportunity to participate in several sets, accompanying major advertising productions for world renowned brands (Coca-Cola, Subaru, Twix, AMBEV...). There I built the basis of my knowledge about camera operation, lighting, scene direction and so on.
In 2017, I founded Triade CC, an independent production company. As a founder, I was involved in the most different roles that a manager of a production company can get involved in. For 4 years, I was responsible for the executive management of the company, working closely with clients, agencies, designers and other team leads to develop and implement customer-centric and impactful content strategies. I also coordinated the audiovisual post-production sector, where I was responsible for editing and finishing the most important campaigns the company was involved in (XP Investments, Ebanx, Safira jewelry, Snow Land Brazil, Brahma Duplo Malte, Ambify, Bonafont Mexico...). I was also involved in advertising campaigns alternating between Scene Director and Director of Photography, making a creative duo with my former partner. In addition to these roles, I was also responsible for liaising with agencies and clients, participating in PPM's and doing the " wrapping up" of the work. The experience with Triade allowed me to acquire relevant experience in editorial and digital media, with a focus on entertainment. In addition, I have developed as a responsible and timely project coordinator with the ability to work independently as well as in collaboration with outside and talent.
In 2021 I decided to move from Brazil to Portugal and as soon as I arrived, I had the opportunity to work with Sagesse Productions, playing a production assistant role. In addition, in this same year I was hired by Endemol Shine Iberia for the role of Videographer, with the responsibility of creating and producing the digital content of the sponsors of MasterChef Portugal.
In short, during the last 8 years I have been involved in several productions, in which I have been able to learn and develop my skills in the art of videography. I had the opportunity to play roles ranging from setting up the lights, directing the casts, designing the shooting lists, shooting the films, to participating in the post-production of each project (editing, colorgrading, coordination and others). I feel confident in handling the various major video and sound editing programs from Adobe Creative Cloud (e.g. Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop), plus DaVinci Resolve Studio (most commonly used for colorgrading). In addition, I am experienced and confident in dealing with various cameras and gears, plus light and sound equipment.
You may ask yourself: why so many different interests? Simply put, I enjoy learning new things. Working with a diverse set of partners and companies, in collaborative and nurturing environments, gives me a unique perspective. I'm not constantly solving the same types of problems over and over again. I'm always expanding my frame of reference, which allows me to solve problems in unexpected ways. Plus, it always keeps me fresh!
