TELEVISION - "Conta-Me"
I bring Conta-Me to life—a dynamic Portuguese-language talk show filmed with a three-camera setup. Over the course of 45 episodes, I’ve captured heartfelt conversations and compelling stories, overseeing every aspect of audio and video production to ensure each episode looks and sounds its best.
Conta-Me airs on The Portuguese Channel—the only local Portuguese-language cable network in the U.S. The channel is available in over 100 cities and towns across Southern New England, reaching more than 5 million homes and businesses, including approximately 500,000 Portuguese-speaking viewers. It airs through Xfinity in Massachusetts and on Cox Cable throughout Rhode Island.
Below are selected examples of my work on the show.

"Blues e Amigos" is a live performance video by Dionísio Garcia, delivered in a classic shuffle blues style. Filmed in an intimate bar setting, the video captures the raw, soulful energy of a close-knit musical gathering. It features the late Manel “The Island Man” Cabral on vocals and harmonica, with Tony Henriques on bass and vocals, and Nuno Capataz on guitar and vocals. A heartfelt tribute to friendship and the blues, this performance brings warmth, groove, and nostalgia to every note.
