Prior to his BA in film, from the Lisbon Theater and Film School, he worked as an attorney. He got his MA in Cinematographic Studies from Lusófona University, with a dissertation on the possibilities of a documental mise-en-scène. The work was supervised by Edmundo Cordeiro. He was awarded two Gulbenkian grants to produce the films «No glance is by chance» in 2013, and «The Seven Thousand Doors» in 2018. He is a certified Death Doula, and frequently works as first assistant director in feature films. His latest film, «Ars Moriendi», explores the benefits of cinema in the context of end-of-life care, the major theme of his PhD investigation.
