Pio Filgueira

At the end of the 90s in Argentina, when I left school at noon, I would go to lunch at my grandmother’s, a few blocks away. I ate as quickly as possible and escaped to the back room to watch MTV and VH1, I was fascinated by music and video clips, I knew every band and every video that was around at the time.

The famous and replicated phrase “Jack of all trades, master of none” never worked for me. From video clips I went on to study guitar (I continue to this day), then to sound design, I studied music production, from there I continued with cinema, production, scriptwriting and direction. I have an immense curiosity that has always led me to be interested in all areas of audiovisual production, to cover and focus on each one of them.

In my professional career I developed myself in production, both in advertising and film (alternated with sporadic jobs as a sound engineer, locationist and camera assistant). I worked for brands such as Coca cola, Colgate, Pure leaf, Renault, among several others. In film I worked with Martín Rodriguez Redondo in his short film “Las liebres” (Historias Breves 12) and in his debut feature “Marylin” (Berlinale Panorama 2018) and with Siew Hua Yeo (Golden Leopard Winner Locarno 2018). On the other hand, and following this multifaceted line, I wrote, presented and developed documentary and fiction projects that have been presented at international festivals and have won different awards (márgenes MADRID, BAFICI, Mar del Plata, Historias Breves INCAA). I was part of the 19th edition of the Berlinale Talents Buenos Aires.

Luck, determination and a call from Fede brought me from Europe to Uruguay to join Metanoia.

I feel privileged, Metanoia is the perfect environment and human group to develop, build and produce diverse and quality audiovisual content.
