Filmmaker Statement

"I wanted to create a timeless experience, where through a Love Story: Time, Memory and Conscience, questioned Eternity and Dream in a Mystical experience. I started to write "The Man who was Cinema" when i was 19 years old. In the year 2010, the idea of filming it started emerging. In 2019 i wrote the final part and made some changes in the short story, i was feeling it was the moment to give life to this text that i had a special afection. I wrote the Text, Music, Filmed and Edited myself, it was filmed on several locations: Bairro Alto ( Lisboa ), Ericeira and S. Miguel Island ( Portugal ); Gozo Island ( Malta ). The Original Soundtrack expresses itself connected to the Story and Vice-versa, I feel the Music says exactly the same as the words of the text: twin soul creations presented in the form of a Short Movie."
