Bio
Art has no boundaries
Nuno de Sá Pessoa Costa Sequeira was born on May 7, 1987, in the vibrant city of Lisbon, Portugal.
My upbringing was shaped by two culturally rich countries, Portugal and Spain, where I cultivated my proficiency in five diverse languages. My educational journey commenced in Lisbon, but soon led me to Denmark, where I completed my studies at the prestigious European Film College. Post-graduation, I embarked on a creative voyage, directing my inaugural independent projects, and contributing as a cinematographer and video editor to the production of four full-length feature films in the heart of California.
Subsequently, I co-founded Skookum Films alongside two accomplished colleagues. Our collective efforts resulted in a multitude of projects that have garnered recognition at more than 200 venues worldwide, earning accolades on numerous occasions.
My life has taken me on brief sojourns to countries such as Switzerland and Brazil, facilitating collaborations with clients and partners hailing from over 30 nations across the globe.
I’ve also had the privilege of serving as a jury member at diverse film festivals and as a keynote speaker at various international events spanning the Netherlands, Bangladesh, Brazil, Switzerland, Portugal, Denmark, the United States, and the Czech Republic.
With an innate curiosity that compels me to question the status quo, I became acutely aware, in the mid-2000s, of a clandestine global elite committed to imposing a system of control upon our planet.
This elite transcends conventional political divisions; their sole objective is the subjugation of humanity. They employ orchestrated events to manipulate the populace, leading them unwittingly towards a perilous fate, akin to a herd of docile sheep heading to the slaughterhouse.
Operating discreetly in the shadows, this global elite wields control over the world’s financial systems, generating currency from thin air, thereby manipulating global organizations like the World Economic Forum and the World Health Organization.
It is imperative to recognize that this elite infiltrated the Chinese government during the Mao revolution, using the nation as a laboratory for testing measures subsequently imposed worldwide.
Their strategies involve deceptive tactics, disguising ostensibly benign policies as fronts for concealed agendas. From leveraging environmental concerns through the guise of human-induced climate change to rebranding influenza as an unproven virus, or manipulating anti-racism into a form of racism and anti-sexism into sexism, this elite fans the flames of division, diverting attention from the genuine threats they pose.
Furthermore, this elite has fostered the rise of what I term “Goldberg” figures, akin to Orwell’s 1984 characters.
Across my diverse network of international friends, I discern a recurring pattern of apprehension, with many preoccupied by their local “far-right threats” — be it Bolsonaro in Brazil, Trump in the U.S., Ventura in Portugal, or Salvini in Italy.
By propelling the ascent of these figures, which do not emerge spontaneously, the elite maintains the majority’s focus on these “threats.” Regrettably, a substantial portion of the population views them as solutions, when in fact, they are neither. These individuals, whether knowingly or unwittingly, are actors in a meticulously scripted narrative penned by master “scriptwriters.” These manipulators keep their audience captivated, inflaming a spectrum of emotions while diverting attention from the true realities unfolding around them.
In light of these revelations and witnessing the art world succumb to racism and discrimination under the guise of progress, and particularly following the so-called “covid” crisis, which served as a Trojan Horse to strip people of their freedoms and livelihoods, all while further decimating the economy on the path to a subjugated populace dependent on a global minimum wage, I made the life-altering decision to pursue my dreams and become a successful entrepreneur. Simultaneously, I am devising strategies to awaken the world to the machinations of this global cabal, striving for a future where freedom prevails.
