mentoring

Mário Cruz, develops guidance programs for those who aim to carry out personal projects.

This orientation is a response for those who do not have the possibility to attend the Narrativa Masterclass, which takes place only in person and in portuguese.

The process is carried out online and allows the author to work individually with Mário Cruz during the different stages of the visual narrative.

This program has a flexible schedule and is defined between the author and the mentor. Mentorship sessions take place once or twice a week, depending on the planning defined for the project.

Every month, there are online sessions (60min each). The last two sessions, which consist of editing the project, can be held in person if the author is able to travel to Narrativa, in lisbon, portugal.

How it works:

  • Registration here.

  • A conversation between the mentor and the candidate is scheduled if the portfolio and project proposal are eligible.

  • If the candidate meets all the conditions, payment is made at the time of registration approval.

  • The mentorship cost is calculated based on the project planning and its duration.
