Rafael Zanesco

Rafael Zanesco’s journey into the moving image began early—at thirteen, he was already behind a camera, crafting his first experimental horror short. That youthful fascination with cinema never waned. He went on to earn a degree in Cinema from Universidade Anhembi Morumbi, and since 2012, he has been an active force in the audiovisual industry. His professional path has taken him through the fast-paced world of television editing and into the creative trenches of advertising production houses, where he honed his technical precision and narrative instincts.

Throughout his career, Zanesco has remained deeply devoted to the art of storytelling. His early experiments in the horror genre laid a foundation for a broader creative range, yet that genre’s bold, atmospheric energy still colors his work. Whether piecing together a commercial spot or shaping a longer narrative, he approaches every project with a filmmaker’s eye for mood and rhythm.

His portfolio reflects a versatility built on years of hands-on experience, from broadcast deadlines to brand-driven content. But at the core of it all is a simple, enduring passion: cinema. Rafael Zanesco continues to create, edit, and explore—driven by the same spark that first led a thirteen-year-old to pick up a camera.
