Bittencourt
I can write for the screen, the paper and the web, but I am also an all-around filmmaker.
My name is Vinicius, but you can call me Vini or Vin. I lived most of my life in Boston, Mass., but I am originally from Brazil, the place I grew up.
Before settling in Lisbon, Portugal, where I've been living and working for the last six years, I also lived in Switzerland and wandered through a dozen other countries. Being frequently exposed to different people and different cultures broadened my horizons and made me more adaptable to diverse workplaces and more understanding of others wants and needs.
I was lucky to have been born creative, and as soon as I realized I wanted to pursue a career in a creative medium, I knew instantly I had to become technical. With that in mind, I decided to enroll at Emerson College, a top communications school in the US, where I learned how to write for all mediums, along with cinematography, editing, web design and even a little bit of coding.
In the last 12 years, I've worked as producer, copywriter, videographer, screenwriter, video editor, web designer and location manager - to name a few. I am well-versed in all production stages - from pre to post - but my strength lies in with my passion - creating, 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, 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."
