Matheo Fernandes (b. 2001) is a Brazilian film director working across narrative-driven films and commercials.
As a director, he approaches filmmaking as a collective and problem-solving process, guided by clarity, strong preparation and trust. His work has been recognized by the Clio Awards, FilmLight Colour Awards (Camerimage), Berlin Commercial, Shots Magazine and Director’s Library.
Matheo began his path through anthropology, where he explored how different cultures tell their stories through food, ritual and everyday life. That background continues to shape his cinematic language, rooted in observation, human presence and emotional detail.
With a strong environmental and humanist approach, he seeks to create real, handmade and timeless storytelling, grounded in culture and designed to endure.
