We create chaos. We produce impact.

We’re here to shake up the communication industry.
No safe formulas. No predictable paths.
At Disaster, we believe that great stories make noise — and we’re here to amplify them.

We’re a creative agency and production company made of restless, passionate, and independent minds.
We think fast, create with purpose, and challenge the obvious.

We work with brands that dare to take risks. That refuse to stay on autopilot.
Because the world doesn’t need more of the same — it needs ideas that leave a mark.

We mix creativity, dedication, and boldness in unequal doses (because following recipes was never our thing).
We work side by side with those who believe that communication should provoke, move, and transform.

Disaster was born to reinvent. To turn the ordinary into the memorable.
To prove that chaos can be beautiful, and that a disaster, at the end of the day, is always a new beginning.

Disaster is driven by beauty — whatever it takes.

Welcome to this Disaster!

CREATIONS

Scripts

They say a picture is worth a thousand words—only because they haven't seen our scripts yet. Short films, features, commercials, music videos, voice-overs. If a story is needed, we help tell it.

Videos

Typically, a disaster. Early apologies to all our clients. After all the engagement with the product and the surge in followers from our videos, you’ll have much more work ahead if you want to satisfy all your new fans. Advertising, fiction, music videos, and much more.

Creative Branding

We blend the useful with the enjoyable, integrating video production with creative agency skills. You save bridges and costs, gain in time and richer creations. Whether marketing strategy and consulting, logos or copywriting, the message never gets lost in the messenger.

Live Streams

Probably the most effective way to watch a disaster live. But don’t worry, we’re here to prevent them. Whether it’s 1, 2, 3, or 4 cameras, we cover events from small lectures to multi-cam tournaments and concerts.

Outsourcing FIREBIRDS

We loan our firebirds out to all kinds of productions—directors, camerapeople, editors, designers, scriptwriters—as long as you promise to bring them back.

Websites & Social Media

No matter how good the product is, it’s worth little if it stays in the drawer. From social media management to website development, SEO, and UX design, we do everything to ensure your disasters reach as many people as possible.

ARSONISTS

ALL STORIES BEGIN WITH A HUMAN BEING

LOURENÇO VAZ

Director | Scriptwriter

In mid-2021, Lourenço’s life changed drastically when he fell in love with Guadalupe, a Mexican dancer. After two rather intense months, the flame began to fizzle. Guadalupe grew ever more distant, eventually swapping Lourenço for a Spanish actor.

After several months tasting bitterness, he realized it was time for a new challenge. Lourenço is also an award-winning director who, after stints working in London, traded money for storytelling, determined to create an agency based on communicating what’s incorrect.

So now, Guadalupe, who’s the real disaster?

Afonso Vieira

Producer | Project Manager

Afonso doesn’t have Lourenço’s love problems. He’s been in a stable relationship for eight years, has a dog, and common sense. He worked in strategy and financial consulting for three years (which felt like fifteen), across industries such as banking and telecom, managing several projects.

However, being not quite politically correct hasn’t brought him luck, making him realize that to avoid spilling his brains on the carpet, he needed a more creative challenge.

He’s an expert in sailing, Excel, and managing disasters.
