André Cruz

Born and raised in Lisbon, I grew up dreaming of space, football, and following in the footsteps of Coppola. I studied Film at Universidade Lusófona and chased the ambition to emulate Apocalypse Now’s director. I’m carving out a creative and honest path in advertising and content creation, where storytelling comes naturally and the aesthetic feels cinematic.

With around 20 years in the industry, I’m a creative director with strong organizational abilities and a solid technical understanding of the full production process. I’m imaginative, collaborative, and thrive in team spaces, bringing people together around a shared vision and communicating clearly to keep every project on track. I also manage budgets responsibly and deliver polished results from concept through to final delivery. In addition to directing, I have a knack for video editing, rhythm and storytelling, which helps me contribute across pre-production, production, and post-production.
