CURRENT MISSION

***I'M TRAVELLING SO UNFORTUNATELY I CAN'T HOST ANYBODY.***

ABOUT ME

I'm a brazilian-portuguese guy actually living in Portugal and France. I'm a independent animation filmmaker and I really love my job. People say that I'm a passioned, generous, open-minded person. Besides of my work in the animation field, I love to paint, to play music (never alone) and to have dinners at my house cooking for my friends.

Actually I'm travelling a lot with my new short animated film, called «Purpleboy».
If you want to know something about it, you can read this review:
