About the team
We’re Catarina Calheiros and Henria Farré, a creative duo of filmmakers based near Lisbon in Portugal with a shared passion for telling real, human stories through our films.
With six years of experience in photography and video production, we founded Existentia Films in 2022, a project dedicated to mental health and transformational storytelling. Today, we bring the same depth, care, and creativity to a broader range of stories: from brands with a mission, artists, families and wedding days filled with emotion.
We believe every story deserves to be told with authenticity and purpose. That’s what guides everything we do.
Authentic stories create a lasting impact.
