Filipe F. Coutinho

Filipe Coutinho (he/him) is a writer and filmmaker living with OCD with a passion for character-driven, inclusive, and commercial stories. His unique cultural perspective is highlighted by his background. Filipe emigrated from a small town in Portugal and knows intimately the challenges of being an immigrant in America.

He has been featured on the Annual Black List in three consecutive years with Whittier, Jambusters, and Patsy. The latter two are currently in pre-production. He’s also working with C2 on a Valentine's Day set slasher, and John M. Chu’s Electric Somewhere on the adaptation of his short story If the Fates Allow into an ongoing TV series.

Filipe is a recipient of the Inevitable Foundation’s Elevate Collective Award and Visionary Fellowship, a Black List Feature Lab alum, and a two-time finalist for the Nicholl's Fellowship.
