Director Biography - João Gama

I am a young filmmaker, recently graduated in sound and image from the Higher School of Arts and Design in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal.

My passions and inspirations are over analog photography and films that demonstrated what I wanted to do in the future, such as Wong Kar-Wai's "Chungking Express."

My skills are mainly focused on film cinematography, so I would like to achieve my dream of someday being a director of photography in great films.

In my course, I explored subjects such as animation, analog photography, sound design, cinema, television project, etc.
