New Industry Section
Fábio Santos is a filmmaker from Portugal. He started his career at age 15 as a VFX artist on a feature film. He then took interest in all things moviemaking, trying to learn as much as possible about every department.
In 2012 he made his first short “Ajuste de Contas”. In June 2013, he travelled to the United States for the first time to work as a PA in Tim Richardson's new film. He then joined the team behind the River Bend Film Festival in Indiana. In 2016 he made his second short film "4 Tempos".
He's the founder and director of the cultural non-profit Anartem & the Ocean Coast Film Festival in Lavra, Portugal.
When not working, he likes to either cook or eat (normally both) pasta.
Abroad Alone is a thriller set in Portugal about an American travel blogger who gets herself into undesired trouble.
We wanted to make this film for $0 and challenge ourselves to use what we already had to make it work. We were fortunate enough to get two really talented actresses from Los Angeles (one American and one Portuguese) that scheduled their vacations to Portugal exactly at the same time so we could make this film work.
