Biography
Portuguese director. Studied animation at Universidade do Algarve, in which time he developed "Yes, some birds are funny when they talk..." and "I Don't Eat Strawberries, I Don't Like The Color." In the following years, he took on a course in live-action filmmaking that, although he decided not to finish, still allowed him to create new shorts that expanded his notions and abilities. Not the most interesting career out there, but one that is still in its infancy.
