Robert Fernández-Ferreira | Director and Writer
Actor’s-director who will always bring out the best performance from his cast. Well-rounded filmmaker, exceptional leading skills and talented at creative writing, pre-production, filming and post-production. Works amazingly well with team, great communication skills and speaks seven (7) languages fluently. Robert’s use of color, contrast and framing are not only a form of artistic choice of style but also a way for him to psychologically and unconsciously evoke emotions in his audience while visually enhancing and underlining the drama.
When Robert was 6 years old, he saw Ghostbusters. While he would help his mother clean around the house, he would carry the vacuum cleaner like a backpack and pretend to be “Peter Venkman” (Bill Murray) from the Ghostbusters, showing already then glimpses of his vast imagination.
