BIOGRAPHY
MARDEN LEÃO
I am a Director and Filmmaker, with a degree in advertising and over 10 years of experience. Productions such as music videos, corporate videos, TV commercials, and DVDs have always been my focus; showcasing my art through my videos is a way for me to express visions that artists and companies always need to surprise their audiences.
My Story:
Born in Goiânia in the 90s, I was always a boy passionate about music, especially organic instruments. Listening at home to the greatest Rock 'n' Roll bands like Led Zeppelin, Guns N' Roses, Iron Maiden, and others, I remember that what I loved most back then were the LP and CD covers, with their photographs and drawings that blew my mind. My art was born at home; my father, also named Marden, a trained architect, encouraged me to draw and enjoy music from a young age. In 2007, I had a Metal band; it was the period of my life when I was closest to music and lived it intensely. At the beginning of 2009, I entered university to study advertising, where I took a course on filmmaking, and that's when I first came into contact with a DSLR camera, a hybrid camera that filmed and photographed. I graduated in 2013 with my thesis on the theme "Music Videos as Advertising," developing a music video and writing a dissertation on how to market a band through music videos. Soon after, I worked at production companies that served as my school and training ground as a professional in the field. Kam Filmes, Ta Na Lata Filmes (Emerson Maia), and Agencia Mancine were some of the places I worked and which served as an incentive to open Lion Filmes, my independent production company. Throughout this journey, I have achieved success directing, photographing, and editing various works for artists such as MV BILL, Nila Branco, MC Don Juan, Banda Mugo, Rayan Barreto, Julio Rocha, Mad Dogz, Overfuzz, and Biu do Piseiro. I have also provided services to the advertising industry, which is my main focus, creating institutional videos and commercials for Shopping Flamboyant, Farmácia Artesanal, Omega Dornier, Detran, Uber, TXC, Clinica Vittá, Brasil Telecom, Punk Crossfit, among others. Currently, in addition to the audiovisual market, I am involved in photography and YouTube.
