Ângelo Varela Ângelo Varela Director and Video Editor

Info

I’m Ângelo Varela, a UK-based filmmaker who believes in the power of connection.

Every story I tell, whether it’s a commercial, music video, documentary, or short film, is grounded in emotion, shaped by purpose, and crafted with care. I started my career editing TV and cinema ads for brands like Vodafone and EasyJet, and over the years, I’ve directed award-winning short films, impactful branded campaigns, and visually striking music videos.

I care deeply about what I create and even more about how it makes people feel.

I tell stories I connect with people.

Let’s get to work!
