About Me

Derrick Dasayeve Dos Santos

   Brazilian-American Filmmaker based in Los Angeles, California 

   Specializing in Narrative Short Films,  Feature Films  &  Music Videos 

 

    My Creative Emphasis is rooted in translating Scripts into Visually-Compelling Emotional Narratives

            I achieve this through obsessing over the source-material and honoring the director's intention above all . . .

            This approach necessitates the cultivation of oneself -- summoning: the openness of a reader,  the clarity

            of a writer,  the acumen of a technician,  the stamina of an athlete,  and the deftness of an artist.

                                                        

   Born in Tacoma,  WA   //   Raised in Duque de Caxias,  Rio de Janeiro,  Brasil

            Writer   /   Photographer   /   Cinephile   /   Lover of Art  -  History  -  Science

   Sergeant & Combat Veteran in the United States Army.

            Deployed to Iraq: Operation Inherent Resolve.  6 Years of Service.  Honorable Discharge.

 

   Fluent in English & Brazilian Portuguese   //   also speak Spanish & Italian

            Licensed Practical Nurse  //  Active CA License   \\

                 >>  Transitioned to Filmmaking purely out of my profound passion & love for the artform  <<
