about me

Hi I´m José Matos and I am a Film Editor from Portugal

From a very early age I got involved with this large and diverse area that is audiovisual. It all started in music in a garage band in 1997 and a few years later and with a few stages trampled on, I considered that this would be my professional area.
I started by studying at a professional audiovisual school, EPCI, where I graduated as an audiovisual technician in the specialty of video editing. So my journey on this “cut and paste” path began.
I graduated in 2009 in Cinema from Universidade Lusófona and at the same time I was making my way in the editing area. I started on Television in 2003 in the program “Corte e Costura” (SIC Mulher) where I was camera and sound assistant. Along the way, I worked with a wide variety of national and international clients, including Coca-Cola, RTP, SIC, Microsoft, to name a few. This path that has now passed the 20 year mark has provided me with a diversity of experiences, Fiction, Advertising, Cinema, Documentary, Web, among others.
Since 2011 I have been an Editor on a freelance basis. In 2019 I resumed training and to this day I am a Trainer at the Professional School, EPCI where I am responsible for monitoring the End of Course Project in Audiovisual Techniques.
And since life is not just work, my big hobby involves boards, cards, dice and people. Together with my Wife and two Friends, I organize Modern Board Games events. Turning off digital is good and our main goal is to get people talking to each other, without a device as an intermediary and spending a few hours in each other’s company, between strategies, learning and lots of fun in the mix.

If you have an idea or project in mind, reach me out and I will be happy to hear from you.
