Fernando Sá Machado was born on October 7th 2004, in Braga, Portugal. He studied Visual Arts at Alberto Sampaio High School before completing his degree in cinema at the School of Arts of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa. His approach to filmmaking, photography, music, writing and plastic arts is DIY and cathartic by nature, expressing his search for humanness in art. He is one of the founders of the riz000ma collective, whose members share this sentiment.
