Joao Cueto is an award winning filmmaker born and raised in New York. During his child and teenage years Joao would create stories and draw characters inspired by the video games and anime he grew up watching.
He didn't think anything of it until he entered community college and discovered that people can take film classes in college. After the first day of film class, Joao fell in love with filmmaking and instantly decided to pursue film.
Because of his childhood inspirations, Joao has a wildly unique approach and distinct style when it comes to writing, directing, or behind the camera.
His goal is to create art and tell stories that both excite and capture audiences to give them the same thrill he experienced while growing up with video games and anime.
