I am American-Indonesian. I was raised in two fairly different cultures, spending equal amount of time in both Indonesia and United States. I have always been interested in anthropological studies, hence focusing my work to revolve around art, culture, religion and heritage. However, my background in non-profits also stemmed my interest in human rights and social issues as well as education-related stories within underserved communities. Most recently, I have begun to document gender rights in southeast Asia and gained interest in domestic violence that exist within our community. Many of these issues have been fueled by forced or arranged marriage obligated by religion and traditional practices of existing communities. Many are stripped off from their basic human rights due to cultural obligations. At the very core, it is nonetheless an abuse of power and authority against those who are powerless.

I'm a cinematographer, editor and motion graphics designer, born and raised in Brazil and based in New York. I've always had a strong connection with music, which led me to tour with bands, taking photos and making videos in the first place. As soon as my first videos were out there I discovered a passion and turned it into my job. I've worked in several production companies and ad agencies, creating TV series, commercials, films, music videos, and digital branded content. Some of the brands I had the opportunity to work with were Google, Food Network, LG, GM, Duracell, Michelob, Cycle, GE, Samsung among others. I am also directing a feature-length documentary named "Black Booth", a study of the shift from analog to digital projection in cinemas, from the point of view of the projectionists. This project won the AbelCine Documentary Grant and is supported by the Film Society of Lincoln Center, Film Forum, Museum of the Moving Image, among other prestigious institutions. I'm passionate about telling the stories of people and places that are out of the ordinary, as well as exploring old things.
