He taught himself to be to be a screenwriter, as well as to edit, and also, film. His family are also known around their town as V.I.P volunteers, since they always volunteer to feed the local homeless. Around Macedo's 18th birthday, he was approached by a producer, who was interested in working with him. The producer, then told Macedo, "I want to see what you got. Make a feature film, in three weeks." Macedo did not waste any time. He wrote the script for his first feature film "Embrace" in a total of five days. He was also offered to film at the recognized "Greystone Manor" in Cambria California, for no cost. Macedo had a premiere party for "Embrace" and sold over $150 of DVD's on the first night ($5 a DVD).
