    watch Suicide suite - 360 Video

    Thanks. No, in fact everything was easy and quick: lyrics, music and video. I began writing the songs in June. I did this very quickly because this is a very powerful subject and it's easy to get ideas. On the other hand, it's not a subject I wanted to be so close for too long. Yeah, it's...

    watch Suicide suite - 360 Video

    I wrote a sequence of 6 songs and because I was experimenting with 360 films I decided to use them as base for a film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LjLRlHi4UU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LjLRlHi4UU If you watch it with the youtube app on a tablet or...

    watch UNUSUAL 3D Animation HORROR Short Film!

    I loved both the film and the soundtrack. I reminded me of something that happened a few years ago. I had a film in a competition that depended on the public vote, each person could only vote once per day. My film was fighting for the top spot with a film about witches, directed by this woman...

    watch May I submit this to film festivals?

    Some time ago there was a competition to make a video to be used at a live performance of "Cloudbusting" (a Kate Bush tribute band). They play this song live with a video as background. I made a video and I don't know if I may submit it or not to film festivals. Are copyright issues a problem...

    watch Tales of Shells and Dust

    I have been submitting the 1st chapter to film festivals and it was selected by a few. It received the "Award of Excellence in Filmmaking or Screenwriting at the 2015 Canada International Film Festival." :) Hopefully this will help to open a few more doors.

    watch "Morto Vivo" - a 15 song cycle turned into film.

    Thanks for letting me know. I tried it with Chrome and it plays, but it doesn't play with Firefor or IE. I am working on the subtitles and upload it to youtube later. I am looking to show the film anywhere :)

    watch "Morto Vivo" - a 15 song cycle turned into film.

    "Morto Vivo" - a 15 song cycle turned into film - FINISHED! Back in 1992 I started working on a 15 song cycle that revolves around existencialism. By 1995 it was complete. In 2009 I thought about turning that music piece into a film and I am now working on the last song, so the film will be...

    watch Tales of Shells and Dust

    Thanks! Filming this in Africa was the best time of my life and every day it's a challenge to put these films together out of the 700 hours of footage I gathered there. But it's great fun :-)

    When is the best time to try to make a deal with a distributor?

    When I started working on this series I had no idea that there would be so much work just after the 1st chapter was completed in order to try be among the 0.001% of films that make money. This thread as made me revise my priorities. I decided that my main goal is to have the series finished...

    The Voice - Lake Tanganyika :)

    I recently messed up with a film festival. They selected one of my films as their top 3 and asked for a high quality version and I sent them the wrong film. The film they had selected was an older one, from a previous series. That film is narrated in Portuguese and I decided to give it another...

    When is the best time to try to make a deal with a distributor?

    Yes. Disregarding customers is the key to failure in any business. Mixing business, passion and art and try to make them work together is a difficult job, even when there's lots of people editing each others ideas. I found a video where a guy talks for a while about statistics concerning...

    When is the best time to try to make a deal with a distributor?

    I see this more and more as an expensive hobby, given the chances of making any money in micro-budget films, unless you don't use your own funds at all. When I see friends that have projects of turning their hobbies into a business I always fear for them, because loving too much an activity...
