Jorge Morais is a distinguished independent filmmaker and artist hailing from Vigo, Spain. His artistic journey commenced at a young age, deeply entwined with various disciplines, including drawing, painting, and sculpture. Notably, sculpture emerged as his primary focus early in his creative development.
Morais entered the realm of graffiti and mural painting during his formative years, where he cultivated a unique style of expression that garnered the attention of commercial brands seeking artistic and advertising collaborations.

The film garnered significant national and international acclaim, achieving selection in over 300 festivals and amassing 125 awards globally.
