a Portuguese filmmaker & designer, based between London & Porto.
Although I come from a design background, my work has increasingly focused on filmmaking — where I take on roles in directing, cinematography, and post-production.
My foundations in design continue to shape my filming approach, bringing a strong sense of composition, storytelling, and visual identity to my work.
I'm Beatriz,


there!
WELL , HELLO


Since starting my career, I have contributed to the creative team at The Telegraph, where I produced daily animations for social media.
Later, I pursued a Masters in Documentary Film, and since then I've directed 4 short films.
At the state51 I have produced over 200 Factory Sessions in the past 5 years.
• Os Dois Sencadas – a portrait of two brothers, both fishermen, and the demanding work they face beyond the sea.
• Que Festas São Estas? – capturing how the city of Póvoa de Varzim adapted its religious celebrations during a pandemic year.
• Dear Quarantine – a film created remotely during the early stages of lockdown as part of a workshop with The University of Texas, Austin.
• You Could Be Here Doing This – documents a behind-the-scenes look at a music label in East London.
