Lionel Vieira Producer’s filmography
Born in Miranda do Douro, Portugal in 1969 to a Portuguese mother and Spanish father. From a very young
age, Vieira was strongly motivated by design and, at the age of 15, devoted himself to painting. At 17 he settled
in the city of Oporto, where he studied design for 3 years. At 20, he moved to Madrid where he completed
a course in Film Directing at the TAI School in the early 90s. At 26 years of age, Vieira returned to
Portugal and directed his feature film, A Sombra dos Abutres. With his second film, Zona J, he succeeded in
making one of the biggest box office successes in Portugal and the 4th biggest in Portuguese film history.
In 2001, he directed the large-scale production A Selva in the Brazilian Amazon, which was also a box office
success in 2002. At present, Vieira is preparing his next film Naturezas Mortas.

Company profile/ ∏ ÂÙ·ÈÚ›·
After working as an executive producer on several national productions, Leonel Vieira decided to found Stopline
Films with his collaborator Pedro Camacho (a line producer) and in partnership with Change Partners, S.C.R., S.
A. (a major Portuguese finance company with Ä 5,000,000 in corporate holdings). Its intent is to produce films
and television series for the Brazilian, Portuguese, and Hispanic markets. In 2004, Stopline Films made the strategic
decision to acquire Leonel Vieira’s share of CCFBR Produçoes (Brazil). Its key strategy is based on the fact that
any growth in the Portuguese audiovisual sector must pass through the Portugal-Brazil-Spain triangle, so Stopline
Films’ productions are fully integrated in terms of both investment and exploration of all three markets.
