MEERI DE OLIVEIRA
Meeri is a Portuguese-Finnish actress and producer. She's also the co-founder of The Lisbon Fixers.

Meeri returned to Portugal determined to apply her (many) different talents into filming projects on her native land.
She's heard that The Lisbon Fixers are a pleasure to work with. "But don't take my word", she warns us. "See it for yourself!".

MARCELO LESSA
Originally a sound engineer, Marcelo thoroughly enjoys translating the director's vision into cinematographic and suitable locations, and works across documentary and narrative.
He has plenty of experience as a local producer and production manager, having worked with The New York Times, BBC and Italy’s Rai TV, among others.
