About the director
“I grew up in fortunate times! Films screened throughout the many cinemas in the country. Long queues and “sold out” signs at the counter, were part of the ritual. Every weekend my grandmother bought tickets in advance, so i could be fascinated and hypnotized by the grandiosity of a Russian war film production, the music and detailed choreography of an Indian love story, the grittiness of the characters and settings of an Italian spaghetti Western.
These magical moments where i profoundly immersed into the stories, left an enormous mark in my subconscious, contributing immensely towards my passion for making films.”
Born in Maputo, started 20 years ago as an office/set production assistant @ Monkey Films, Cape Town. For 6 years, he works as a second assistant director, location scout, unit manager and production manager on commercials, documentaries and feature films. In 2009 he produces his first film with Pipas Forjaz, the short “Mahla, and a production company is born.
After 4 years in prison, BRUNO (34) is finally a free man and back in the city of Maputo with beloved girlfriend Mia and their baby. He finds a job in a scrapyard and lives an honest life when he’s suddenly surprised by a bank summons referring to a mysterious loan his late mother took.
