THE MARTIANS INVADE THE VISIONARIES.
28 February 2023

Diogo Abrantes and João Rito (aka The Martians) have joined The Visionaries for commercial representation. If their nickname wasn't enough of a giveaway, Abrantes and Rito are huge sci-fi fans—they even pretend to be aliens when asked about their new home.

"We're beyond thrilled that The Visionaries spotted us on their telescope and offered us a mothership parking spot in their roster," say Abrantes and Rito, who'd love to hail from the Red Planet instead of Portugal. "Like most Martians, we need stories to survive, and the planet Earth is a place full of them."



"We cannot wait to get out there, meet creative humans, and abduct stories with our camera. If anyone out there has a story and wants to bring it to life, aim for the stars. We're there for you, because… well, we're from there." So long as no one calls the Men in Black, the pair should do just fine.

Before everyone gets down to business, Lemonade Reps get into the extraterrestrial spirit: "Yes, it's true there is life out in the darkest corner of the galaxy and it has one single purpose: to craft hilarious commercials and engaging films for all the world to see. The Martians have joined our ever expanding roster of talented filmmakers, and with them they bring a body of work full of joy and passion."
