Marcelo Alves

I help brands, agencies and production companies turn ideas into high-impact films and visual stories.

I am a freelance Film Director & Editor with 10+ years of experience creating commercials, branded content, documentary-driven stories and still imagery across Europe and South America.

I have directed, shot, and edited projects for clients such as Nike, Adidas, Porsche, Henkel, Havas, and Freeletics, leading productions from lean crews to full commercial sets. My strength is combining creative sensitivity with technical precision, moving seamlessly between storytelling, camera, and post-production that extend campaigns across print, social, and digital.

I typically handle:

• Commercials and branded films

• Social and digital campaigns

• Documentary and human-centered stories

• End-to-end productions (direction, DoP, editing, color workflow)

• Fast, high-quality content for agencies and in-house teams

If you need a director who understands both the creative vision and the execution, and can take a project from pitch to delivery with reliability and craft across both motion and stills, I’m ready to collaborate.
