Director Biography - Mickaël Do Couto

I’m Mickael, a passionate and experienced videographer. Originally from Paris, I have been living in Ireland for the past 5 years. From a young age, I have had a deep love for the art of video production. My interest began at a young age, filming my football games with my siblings and cousins.

As I grew older, my passion for video production led me to pursue new opportunities and experiences. I spent two years in Australia, where I began creating travel videos, capturing the beauty and culture of the country.

I have also had the opportunity to work on more ambitious projects, such as a documentary film about my journey hitchhiking from Paris to Antarctica while disguised as a penguin. This experience solidified my desire to turn my passion into a career.

I am now an independent freelancer based in Ireland, specialising in music, event videography and documentaries.
