Pedro Pimentel was born on February 7, 1996 in Recife, Brazil. His interest in filmmaking surged while in middle school, when he and his friends decided to make an adaption of a short horror story found on the web, and turn it into a short film. Idea that was originally meant to be a simple hang out ended up pushing Pedro into making more films. Passionate about challenges that are found in the filmmaking process, Pedro's films tend to focus on not only an specific aspect of the craft, but rather the overall experience the audience will have. He believes that movies aren't just a story being told on the big screen, nor a sequence of never-ending deaths and explosions, but a combination of visuals, timing, tales and music, put together to create a double-faced mirror to infinity, where the audience can see the infinite behind it, as well as themselves in their own reflection.- Writer
