SHORTTEMPER Films

Based in Lisbon, Portugal, SHORTTEMPER Films is an indie film production company.
We are indie by choice, not by chance.

Our team already boasts a strong presence in high-profile national and international productions. And even with our growing expertise, we’ll always want to remain just that—new kids on the block, committed to creating films that matter, driven by the belief that Importance is not measurable.

At SHORTTEMPER Films, we aim to tell delicate, human stories that are visually impactful and stay true to the essence of cinema: show, don’t tell. From narratives and experimental films to documentaries, advertisement, theater production collaborations and video gaming, we believe our work connects with audiences on a deeper level, hopefully inspiring meaningful reflections.

In addition to filmmaking, we provide high-quality in-house solutions from concept to final cut. From script doctoring, at earlier stages, to full post-production services, including editing, color grading, foley, sound mixing, VFX, 3D modeling, 3D/2D animation and motion graphics.

On the commercial side, we craft compelling advertisements for web and TV, blending creativity with precision to capture attention and deliver messages effectively. Our collaboration extends beyond the screen, working with theater productions to bring cinema into live performances, merging the two worlds to create immersive experiences.

We’re always on the lookout for compelling stories and to support filmmakers like ourselves from the ground up, including helping you through promotion and distribution.

If you’re seeking to make something that truly matters, we invite you to bring your ideas and passion to us.
