ABOUT US

My story

Born in the city of Rio de Janeiro in the neighborhood where the girl inspired bossa nova music and spread the city to the world, I was influenced back in my early age by my international origins of a European father and a Brazilian mother. Therefore I went off to travel and see the world since I was still very young. I lived in the United States and graduated from High School in California before moving to Europe where I graduated in History and Geography at Sorbonne University in Paris. I interrupted my doctorate thesis on "Economic History of Latin America" at Sorbonne University by the end of 80's to work on audiovisual productions and documentaries about Brazil where I settled down opening my film production company. Since that time I work exclusively in film productions and international documentaries, TV series and videos made in Brazil for the most renewed networks in the world.

Trajectory

The main reason for the return to Brazil was the involvement in a mega production that lasted 4 months of preparation for a live satellite transmission for NBC Today Show carried out during carnival in Rio de Janeiro. Since then, there have been approximately more than 500 international audiovisual productions for prestigious programs and networks including major Sir David Attenborough's BBC series filmed in Brazil. The film Baraka, made in 70 mm acclaimed as one of the best documentary art films made in the history of cinema; Also the scenes filmed in Brazil for “An Inconvenient Truth” by former US President Al Gore. The programs made in Brazil for Discovery Channel series River Monsters and hundreds of productions for the most renowned TV stations in the world, such as the BBC, Discovery Channel, NatGeo. Producer for French programs Ushuaia Nature made in Brazil presented by Nicholas Hulot.
