About

“IVO IS A DIRECTOR WHO HAS TAKEN HIS BACKGROUND

IN ANIMATION DESIGN AND MOVED INTO VIVID LIVE-ACTION FILMS

The infectious energy of Mill+’s Portuguese whirlwind permeates

his films by way of passionate performances and bold photography -

all with a cheeky sense of humour.

He is a generous, trusting and collaborative director.”

Dan Kreeger & Tyler Hope Chamber
