Director Statement

Ever since I was a child, I have always been drawn to TV screens. At the age of 14, I entered my first professional TV studio and fell in love with the magic of colors, sets, costumes, and smoke. There, I was certain that I was in my natural habitat. Having also worked in front of the cameras, I put off studying until later, because for a life on the stage, you need to make the most of your youth. Today, at 48 years old, I have a master's degree in film and television production, which is what I love most. Working in entertainment, and being a director of the seventh art, allows me to work in all segments of entertainment. I invite you to enjoy this new journey. In this documentary, we show what the day-to-day life of a tuk tuk tour guide in the city of Porto is like, and the importance this has in boosting the economy by generating jobs and opportunities.
