About — Matheo Fernandes

MATHEO

I once set out to be a chef, but my family's old camera changed my path. It took me into anthropology, exploring how different peoples tell their stories through food - always with a camera near me. In the end, I realized I was telling those stories better on film than anywhere else.

So, here I am: a film director. My craft carries that precision blended with the observations I drew from personal researches.

With a strong environmental and humanist approach, my films seek to shift the way we see and imagine the world. Portraying lives and voices often left at the margins, giving presence to those who are historically excluded.

I believe in timeless storytelling. Built with real craft, rooted in culture, and designed to endure.
That’s what you can expect from me.

I’ve directed and collaborated on projects for brands such as Volvo, AeroPress, Nissan, Heineken, Coca-Cola, TikTok, O Boticário, and NEOM.
