I’m Rafael, a Director, Screenwriter, Performer and a simple creator from Lisbon, passionate about storytelling in all its forms. With a background in Film and Media Arts, I explore cinema as both craft and rebellion, a space to provoke, to reveal, and to heal.

My work merges aesthetics, emotion, and genre, always rooted in deeply human themes. For me, film is not only about telling stories, but about sparking change and leaving an imprint that lingers.

Having explored different areas of cinema, from production and editing to camera work, I approach each day with openness, moving freely between film, music, performance, drawing, and other creative practices, following the ideas wherever they take me.

Here’s a brief and quick glimpse into my work - a little reflection of my world, my vision and thoughts.
