Patrício Faísca
Production Director
Fascinated by cinema, Patrício was 10 when he borrowed a video camera from his next door neighbour, in order to make a film with his friends. He never stopped making them ever since, always with his own means and continuously learning from his mistakes, with a dedication that enabled him to progress immensely by himself.
With an impressive practical experience and technical knowledge, Patrício is today an extremely versatile filmmaker, very resourceful in all areas of digital audiovisual production, with special emphasis for camera operation, editing and visual effects. He is also very ingenious when it comes to carpentry, electricity and mechanics and very organised and adaptive, qualities that make him an excellent producer.
To Patrício, nothing is impossible – actually, the greater the production challenges are, the greater is his enthusiasm for the project.

Sonat Duyar
Creative Director
Sonat studied Physics and engineering in university, but his interest in the arts followed him throughout all of his life, more specifically in literature, music and cinema.
He is a prolific and very creative writer, author of a large collection of award-winning works, between short stories, poems, articles and screenplays. Throughout the years he wrote for countless websites, blogs, publications and newsletters, both in Portuguese and in English. He also has professional experience in marketing and in translating/subtitling.
His writing skills were apparent since a very young age (he won his first literature award at the age of 10), as well as his inclination to manage teams and projects (he founded and edited a school newspaper and was a director for his university’s Physics association). A self-taught composer, he was also the creator of several soundtracks for short films.
Sonat was the marketing coordinator at London Film Academy before he started working full-time for New Light Pictures.
