Bittencourt
I can write for the screen, the paper and the web, but I am also an all-around filmmaker.
My name is Vinicius—you can call me Vini or Vin.
I was fortunate to be born creative, but once I decided to pursue a career in a creative field, I knew I also had to become technical. That led me to Emerson College, one of the top five filmmaking schools in the U.S.
Originally from Brazil, where I grew up, I spent most of my adult life in Boston before moving to Portugal, where I’ve been based for the past seven years while living and working across Europe—including Italy, France, and Switzerland. These experiences, and the constant exposure to different cultures, deepened my understanding of people’s diverse wants and needs and made me more adaptable to different work environments.
Over the last 12 years, I've worked as producer, copywriter, videographer, screenwriter, video editor, web designer and location manager. I am well-versed in all production stages—from pre to post—but my true strength lies in creation itself, being in the form of writing, filmmaking or crafting brand identities.
Whether it's a feature film, a full-fledged brand ID or a fleshed-out ad-campaign, if I'm put to the challenge, you can count on me to deliver.
In the last 12 years I have done it all. I am ripe and ready to rumble. If you have questions, reach me @ vin.bittencourt@gmail.com.
Grip / Gaffer / Assistant Director
Working for these 5-star hotels enabled me to finance my dream of attending film school.
Prior to attending film school, I ran a successful business as an importer/exporter of electronic goods.
During my 18-month sabbatical, I hiked Mont Blanc, lived in Paris, Barcelona and explored six other countries while writing a full-feature screenplay.
Director / Screenwriter / DP
Here are some of the projects I produced, directed, filmed, wrote, edited, managed and designed.
"In everything Vinicius has done during his 3+ years with us, I always found him to be hard-working, innovative, creative, eager to learn, polite and pleasant to have around and interact with."
"I know it seems as if it is something that is always thrown out there but... Vinny was the best project manager I've had in my 20+ years as a professional photographer."
"Amazing writer - characters and dialogue are some of the best I've seen and very nice person, and great experience."
