ABOUT ME

HUGO ARAÚJO

I'm a director, producer and screenwriter.

My passion for filmmaking began in childhood, creating stop-motion films with Lego, where I first discovered the power of framing and narrative. What started as playful experimentation gradually evolved into a lifelong pursuit of cinema. I started doing indie short films with my friends to shape my the visual language and storytelling approach that define my work today.

Alongside my narrative projects, I have built my career across both commercial productions and film sets.  I have directed and produced branded campaigns for Djerf Avenue, Timo & Violet, Wave Hawaii. Working across commercial and narrative filmmaking has strengthened my ability to combine cinematic storytelling with strong visual execution.

My directorial debut, The Bells Ring at Midnight, which I wrote, directed, and produced, reflects my interest in morally complex characters and the conflicts that shape human behavior. 

Today, I continue to develop narrative films while collaborating with brands and artists, believing that the most compelling cinema emerges where emotional truth meets bold visual storytelling.
