Director Biography - António Paula

António Paula, born in the city of Porto on November 5, 1978, from an early age demonstrated his inclination towards the arts. In 2004 he finished his degree in Architecture, in Porto. Ten years later, and after working in the area, he quit this profession. Since then he has dedicated himself to his old passion: the audiovisual. Self-taught and passionate about the area, he has invested in his theoretical and technical training, seeking excellence in all projects he embraces.
Soon the quality of his work and the irreverence in the way he faces the cinema gave him the opportunity to film several music videos for national musicians, three of which went to the renowned Sony Music Portugal publisher. With the intention
of broadening his knowledge and embracing new challenges, in 2017, he joined the Degree in Sound and Image at Universidade Católica Portuguesa.
