Bringing ideas to screen with impact and heart.

Hi, I’m Tiago Zacarias, a Portuguese screenwriter and aspiring filmmaker. I’m 21 years old and currently studying cinema, driven by a lifelong love for storytelling in all its forms—films, books, music, games, and even football.

I’ve written several short screenplays, including Anel Improvisado, Pena da Morte, and Sobre o que Aconteceu, as well as a feature script called Assombra. I’ve also directed four short films: To Act, Assobio, Pena da Morte, and Menina e Moços, and I’m currently working on a new short project.

My goal is simple: to enter the film industry and succeed doing what I love most—telling stories. Through my experience writing, directing, and analyzing films, I’ve developed strong narrative skills, focusing on clear storytelling, character-driven scenes, and solid dramatic structure. I’m comfortable developing loglines, treatments, short scripts, and story ideas, and I approach every project collaboratively, detail-oriented, and open to feedback. All work I deliver is 100% original.

I’m passionate about creating stories that resonate, and I believe that every idea has the potential to inspire, entertain, or move an audience.
