CANGUÇU


Hi! I'm a Brazilian director and screenwriter based in London.

My main focus, both in film and music videos, is to develop narratives that transport audiences to new worlds, diving into stories that border on the surreal.

Having lived in different countries during my childhood, multiculturalism is a recurring theme in my work. This is why I chose to explore various Latin cultures to create a new dystopian world in my short film Borders.

With over four years of experience in film, I’ve written and directed 14+ music videos for clients like Universal and Sony, honing my visual storytelling abilities. My short films Borders and My Hand Is the Extension of My Heart, which I wrote and directed, have both received recognition and awards at international festivals.

Currently, I’m developing a new feature film while also producing two short films: Gold Rusts in the Tide and Three, Two, One. I look forward to delving deeper into themes of identity and diversity in my projects, while continuously seeking to build immersive worlds and dynamic storytelling.
