Meet Wagner Lima | Producer / Filmaker

We had the good fortune of connecting with Wagner Lima and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Wagner, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Life is short , cars , houses , money , status , don’t mean anything , when you die you won’t take it with you , the most important thing in your life is how profound was your journey here , thats how I would like to be remembered , as someone who had a profound journey here , someone who was spreading love.

What should our readers know about your business?
I’m a creative professional passionate about blending innovation with authenticity. What sets me apart is my ability to approach each project with a unique perspective, ensuring that the work resonates with its intended audience. My journey hasn’t always been easy, but overcoming challenges has been key whether that was navigating creative blocks or refining my skills. Persistence, adaptability, and continuous learning have been invaluable lessons. I want the world to know that my brand is all about storytelling, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of creating meaningful art that connects on a deeper level.
