Who we are

We are four people making video for brands, in Portugal and beyond.

You deal with Daniel from start to finish. Pedro and Willen are behind the camera, and Willen also edits and grades your film.

Daniel Lopes, founder and director of Beyond Focus

Daniel Lopes

Founder and Director

I'm the founder of Beyond Focus, a Portuguese video production company that works as an external creative department for brands that want to communicate at the level they are worth.

The journey started behind the camera. I worked as a photographer and videographer, went through Shot and Cut Films and worked on projects for brands like Coca-Cola, SportTV and Panda Biggs. In 2023, with that experience behind me, I founded Beyond Focus.

Years of filming companies from the inside left me with a conviction that guides everything we do today: most good brands communicate below what they are worth. Serious operations, strong products, and an image that does not do them justice.

Our job is to close that gap. Brand films, video and photography, from concept to delivery, with few projects at a time and close attention to detail. We have filmed for brands like ZEISS, El Corte Inglés, ProKitchens and the Once Upon a House group, in Portugal and abroad.

Today my role is to lead Beyond Focus and build it into the reference for brands that take their image seriously, wherever they come from. I stay close to the set, because that is where quality is decided, but what drives me is what the right image does for the business of those who trust us.

If your brand is worth more than it shows, talk to me.

The mindset that built us

It took 99 nos to get to the first yes.

When Beyond Focus started, nobody knew us. There were months of unanswered emails, postponed meetings and rejected proposals. At some point we adopted a simple rule: if it takes 99 “nos” to get to the first “yes”, we want to hear them as fast as possible, because every “no” is a step forward and not a step back.

That persistence built the client list we have today. And it is how we treat every project: we do not stop until the result matches what the brand is worth.
