Daniel Pereira Florêncio is a Brazilian-born British film director, writer and producer.

Career beginnings

[edit]

Daniel Florêncio studied Radio and TV at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais in Brazil. After graduating in 2005, he moved to London to pursue a Master in Arts and Media at the University of Westminster.[1] After his Masters, he joined the BAFTA-winning BBC series The Secret Show[2] as an editor.,[3] and remained in the United Kingdom, where he still resides.

For Current TV, the now extinct TV channel from former American vice-president Al Gore, he produced and directed the short-documentary Gagged in Brazil in 2008. The film portrays the economic pressure and censorship exerted over the press by Brazilian presidential hopeful, and then governor of the state of Minas Gerais, Aécio Neves.[4][5][6] Through legal intimidation, the politician's team tried unsuccessfully to stop the film being broadcast,.[7][8][4]

Film career

[edit]

Awfully Deep (2010)

[edit]

In 2010, he wrote, directed and produced the short film Awfully Deep, the first acting job of Lino Facioli,[9] who went on to star as Robin Arryn in the HBO series Game of Thrones, and later as Dex on Netflix's Sex Education.[10] The film won an Honourable Mention at the Athens International Film Festival in Ohio, and the Audience Award at the ShortShorts Film Festival in Tokyo.[11][12][10] The film had a particular interest in France, being screened at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, at Utopiales in Nantes[13] and at the L'etrange Film Festival in Paris.[14] Later, it was broadcast on Canal+ on their show Mikrociné.[15] It was also a finalist of the World Bank Film 4 Climate Competition.[16]

Chasing Robert Barker (2015)

[edit]

In 2013, Florêncio and his now wife, Maria Nefeli Zygopoulou, launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to shoot their first feature-film, titled Chasing Robert Barker.[17][18] The script told the story of a paparazzo and was inspired by the documentary Tracking William: a Night with a Paparazzo,[19] that Florêncio produced for Current TV.[20] The campaign raised £50,000[10] and the film was produced through his production company I Made it Films,[21] in partnership with Iceland's Pegasus Pictures[22][23] (the Icelandic producer of Game of Thrones),[24] and was launched in 2015.[25] The following year the film received three nominations at the National Film Awards UK,[26] winning Best Action Film.[27][28][29][30][31][32] In 2016 the film was nominated for the Accession Award for Screenwriting at the East End Film Festival in London.[33][34]
