In the next years, and accumulating the parts of writer and director, he signed the short film Limbo: A Small Measure of Peace (2016), or a trilogy of shorts, (Zombie, Awoken, and Whispers), that were combined into just one movie, Insanium (2018). These movies went to several film festivals around the world, winning some awards which included the "Rising Star Award" for Rui Pedro Sousa at the Canada International Film Festival.
