About Janio

Hi, I’m Janio!

I was born in the Amazon in Brazil, of British French and Caribbean parents.

I grew up in between Europe and Latin America, learned Spanish, French, Portuguese and English simultaneously.

Through family and work, I was exposed to life in high government and corporate circles, as well as living and working with native american Indians, Amerindians, of the Amazon and Caribbean.

I studied film and broadcast production in London, started my career with football and journalism for Al Jazeera, Euronews, Bloomberg to then telling stories in 45 countries, from working class to politicians.

My style of filming is reality; to be able to capture life like a fly on the wall, studying the characters and extracting the essence and looking for alternative angles to reflect the reality in which they live in. I use this approach in making corporate films tangible, as a documentarist.

I never seek one type of work, as filming has taken me from deep in the jungles of the Amazon, Africa, and Caribbean to the world stages of FIFA the Olympics and the Ukraine war.

I am happy to travel and have many bases worldwide!

Never a dull day in life.
