I am thrilled to share the amazing interview Geoff Hall and I did with Tony Goncalves for the "Seeing Rachel YouTube channel."
Beyond his remarkable professional achievements, Tony Gonçalves' passion for storytelling and unwavering belief in the power of human connection truly set him apart.
As the Executive Producer of the Tribeca Festival Lisboa, Tony has brought not just an event, but a dream, to life. A dream of celebrating voices from across the globe and spotlighting the incredible talent thriving in Portugal.
Tony’s work is a testament to his belief that art and creativity can bring us closer, reminding us of our shared humanity. Whether nurturing emerging talent or championing groundbreaking projects, his dedication and heart are the driving forces that inspire everyone who crosses his path.
For our interview, we covered pitching to investors, women in film, dealing with failure and success, and Tony’s focus on strategy AND legacy.
Here's Tony stake about Women in Film:
"Stories led by women bring unique perspectives to the forefront, enriching our understanding of complex narratives. Films like "Seeing Rachel" showcase the power of female protagonists and their ability to inspire, resonate, and challenge societal norms. Women in creative leadership positions add depth and nuance to storytelling. Their lived experiences often make them better equipped to understand the thoughts of female protagonists and guide actors in crafting compelling scenes and dialogues."
