Hi, I'm João Seguro. I'm a Lisbon-born multimedia professional with over a decade of experience telling stories through video, photography, and design. I work across continents, from Lisbon to São Paulo to the Bay Area, delivering corporate videos, documentaries, news segments, and branded content. I’ve produced and directed two ethnographic feature documentaries about the Portuguese diaspora, and I’ve translated and captioned television content for RTP Internacional. I’m fluent in Portuguese and have worked with teams around the world, always aiming to bring cultural context and human connection to every project. I’m a multilingual storyteller with a hands-on approach to everything from concept to final cut. I love exploring new platforms and formats, collaborating with clients and crews, and helping brands communicate ideas clearly and creatively.
