I have more than 20 years of professional experience in TV and video. Started out in Brazil as a field producer for commercials; after 3 years, worked as chief archivist for TV shows, implementing a very fast way to find a required shot in no time; that prompted me to work as director's assistant for a year; then, started working as an editor. In 2000, moved to Los Angeles as foreign media representative, working at Pacific Factory Entertainment until 2003 and at FJ Productions until 2009 as senior video editor in several TV shows. From 2009 to 2011, worked as producer/director/videographer/editor for Globo TV, sending sports stories weekly to Brazil. Since 2012, I am back in Brazil and have a small production company, producing short documentaries using all the experience built in these past years. I believe I am perfect to work in short docs that tell informative yet emotional personal stories. I'm also a music composer, which helps me find the perfect song to fit these stories.

Desde 2002, quando comecei na área de documentários, posso dizer que histórias pessoais, inusitadas, são as que me emocionam e por isso, as que eu caço. Por exemplo, uma família aonde todos são palhaços, desde o pai até sua filha caçula. A vida deles para ganhar dinheiro é se travestirem de palhaço e fazer espetáculos por qualquer canto, outdoor ou indoor. Fiz um documentário de cinco minutos sobre esta família. O cinema iraniano me influênciou muito neste sentido. Histórias que parecem ficcionais de tão intrigantes/interessantes/emocionantes.

Matheus Mombelli: videomaker/documentary director from Brazil. I like to tell stories of people and show what they do. I try to find different things: from strange bizarre collections to amateur sportsmen, or old ladies wistful. Anyway, I think almost everyone has a good story to tell. My professional experience involves the script and direction of a series for History Channel Brasil called "One Against All" (2016), about the life of the soccer judge in Brazil, and other documentary content for television.

I'm a brazilian filmmaker passionate about storytelling, especially non-conventional narratives. I also love Pennebaker's style (no interviews, what you shoot is what you get). In my experience, I've worked mainly with documentaries and "documentary style" stuff, as an editor and sometimes director/camera man.
