Marques is a graduate from Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema, class of 2006, where he studied Screenwriting and Film Production.
His first experimental short film Going Blind was selected for DVD-Project and has toured around the world in art galleries and festivals.
His first fiction film João e o Cão (John and the Dog) was made with a low budget and with the collaboration of a young crew, some still in University.
With a running time of just above 30 minutes, it is somewhat of a road movie about two teenager friends who are going from world music summer festival to a hidden lake in south Portugal.
In 2022, Marques served as Producer and did additional editing for The End Before Me, a short doc directed by first time director Inês Luís, which premiered at Indielisboa International Film Festival the same year.
Minimum Speed Not Respected is the third film of the André Marques' Phantom Presence trilogy, after You Suck Me Dry (2012) and Brother (2016).
The music soundtrack is quite an eclectic one, with a mixture of new avant-garde American composers such as The Winged Victory for the Sullen and Elm (Jon Porras), British ambient folk musician Gareth Dickson and some vintage Portuguese artists.
