Vinícius Arêas
@vinciusaras
I am a filmmaker, editor, and screenwriter specializing in documentary storytelling.
What I'm looking for
I am a filmmaker, editor and screenwriter focused on narrative-driven documentaries, web series and branded content. I combine visual storytelling with sharp editorial instincts to create emotionally resonant work.
I have directed and edited over 30 videos for corporate training programs and produced educational series for institutional clients, as well as content for broadcasters and branded channels. My work spans documentary films, web series, instructional videos and short fiction.
My documentary and series work has earned festival recognition, including a win at Chile Digital Fest and multiple nominations at Rio Web Fest and Los Angeles Web Fest, underscoring a commitment to rigorous research and clear narrative structure.
I also teach scriptwriting and video production, having led courses at film schools and cultural institutions, and I run several successful YouTube channels and digital projects that prioritize accessibility, social themes and audience engagement.
