I’m Alex, I was born in 1997 in Portugal, and I’m an animation filmmaker and animator. I have worked in music videos, documentaries and internationally commissioned commercials for clients such as Google, World Health Organization, TedED, New York University, among others.

My first animation short film, Amarelo Banana, produced by AIM Creative Studios in Portugal, in collaboration with CUB Animation in Hungary, premiered at International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2025 and since then has been selected to multiple festivals around the world such as Annecy Festival, Telluride Film Festival and Hong Kong IFF.

Currently, I am developing my second animated short film, Prado.
