- Let’s make something extraordinary! I am a Filmmaker across feature film, episodic and branded spaces. My breadth of experience is focused by passion: Excellent visual storytelling is key, creative budget with craft artistic values, from 30 seconds to 2 hours to 22 episodes. As the entertainment and advertising industries continue to overlap, fluency in each of the production languages is critical for strong leadership and a united vision.
- As an award-winning Film Producer and Director for short and long-form projects, my experience covers the whole value chain of film production, always in search of a genuine balance between creative budget development with craft artistic values. Based in Los Angeles since 2013, I have been leading teams on challenging endeavors - more than 40 film productions between Long and Short films, fictions and documentaries , from the creative and strategic aspects of content management (research, writing / scripting, production strategy) to executive production (budgeting, financing, negotiating and selling) and hands-on production (high quality posts and deliverables).
In 2012, my film The Tuner premiered in Orizzonti at the 69th Venice Film Festival as the only Brazilian film in the competition. Nominated for the Venice Horizons Youtube Award, it received the CANAL+/France Acquisition Award at Curta Cinema (RJ) 2013, the Jury Honorable Mention at the Havana Film Festival 2013 and at the Los Angeles Film Festival 2013, was nominated for the Golden Firebird Award at the Hong Kong International Film Festival 2013 and was selected by over 40 festivals worldwide, such as Tolouse, Tiradentes, Melbourne, Aspen, FicViña and Huelva, and institutions such as the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Yale University, Instituto Moreira Salles and the Uruguayan Cinematheque.
In 2003, I founded Navegantes Filmes and Viladigital, a visual communications and film content companies for internet, TV and Cinema in São Paulo, Brazil. My experience as CEO in a small company - a startup in a volatile market such as Brazil - has given me a passion for both understanding human behavior (around brands and consumer products), and most importantly, for making things happen. I've managed teams on delivering marketing strategies and producing branded content for brands such as Nestlé, Netflix, Castrol, IBM, Triumph, Canon, Tequila Jose Cuervo, Chilli Beans, Salvat, among others.
