A Portuguese filmmaker who has worked in digital and film, from fiction to documentary, Vasco believes that a director should be able to adapt his skills to each genre and film, according to what it entails. Raw emotion, working with actors, and using film as an insight into the ever-changing landscape of society’s views is what interest him more as a filmmaker. His first independent film was The Sin of Those Who Love Us that won 17 international awards, including best short and best director. He is starting a new venture with a production company: "Moinho - Filmes" which co-produced The Cow of Fire.
