Born in Brazil to a Swiss father and a Brazilian mother, I grew up in the Italian part of Switzerland. I studied political sciences and I am self made reporter. One year after a trip to West Africa in which I documented a tribe that practices Scarification, El País contacted me wanting to buy and publish my piece. Since then I have done numerous pieces for the Brazilian media, Swiss television, and for El País. In collaboration with the media or Non-governmental organizations, I am interested in raising awareness about topics related to justice and social inequalities. However, as an inquisitive and disciplined professional I am mostly committed to my own long term projects which involve immersing myself in communities that challenge his own beliefs, paradigms and worldview. I enjoy researching, writing, taking pictures and filming. If I can, I avoid video editing. I speak fluent Italian, German, French, English, Portuguese, Spanish and I also speak some Rumanian.

Hi! My name is Yuri Schuler, I'm a Brazilian filmmaker and music producer, based in Rio de Janeiro. I have always been passionate about music, so after starting a couple of rock bands in my teen years, I began to work as an audio engineer and recordist for Multifoco Música, an small music label in Lapa, RJ. From 2009 to 2013 I had the oportunity to work with some high level artists of brazilian popular music, such as Sandra de Sá, Luiz Brasil, Wilson das Neves, Elton de Medeiros among others, both in live concerts and in studio. In 2013 I felt the need to expand what I could offer to artists and musicians, so I started a new label, Útero, that would not only focus in music recording, but also in creating a connection between music and video, and how one can help the other in a world full of distractions and new content to compete. Since then, I have been enrolled in several courses, workshops and masterclasses, as well as practicing in real life projects, honing my skills as a filmmaker and project manager. Today, Útero has become my principal occupation, and I have directed several projects of music videos, live sessions, concerts etc. We have an office that has video edit rooms, professional recording studio and music studio, and our team is a group comprised of filmmakers, music producers, photographers, graphic designers and audio engineers, all working under the same roof and purpose. . With this team of talented people and infrastructure, we started to not only produce content to the Útero youtube channel (with over 20000 subscribers) , but also to offer our skills as freelancers, to other channels and companies of several niches. We have worked with museums, shipyards, sports, food photography, art exhibitions, social projects an so on. So, this profile is a way to expand our offerings without the limitations of location ;) Feel free to contact if you think that we can help each other ;)

I am a journalist since 2004 and a History graduation student since 2016. In 2004, at the age of 18, I co-founded a newspaper called O Aporema, at the Journalism School at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, in south of Brazil. Highlight for the coverage of the editions of the World Social Forum. Also during this period, I installed community radios in different parts of Porto Alegre. From 2006 to 2008, I was a reporter and producer for BandNewsFM, Rádio Bandeirantes AM and Rádio da Universidade da UFRGS, with an emphasis on reporting on city, politics and sport in Rio Grande do Sul. From 2008 to 2013, I worked at TV Globo, the biggest brazillian broadcaster, as editor and producer. At SporTV, my most interesting project was the series "Brasil Fora de Série", which went through almost all states in the country to show the culture of football as a fundamental identity character of Brazilians. In 2013, after the popular riots, I resigned from Globo in disagreement with the editorial line of the station, attacking the protesters and the political project chosen by the population at the federal level. From 2014, as a freelancer, I participated in activist journalism movements, such as Mídia Ninja and Free Journalists. I developed a project for long reports, called Jornalismo em Pé, in defense of dignity and human rights. Still as a freelancer, I have worked for 6 years for the Brazilian Paralympic Committee and for the International Paralympic Committee - highlighting the coverage of the Rio 2016 Paralympics. About politics, Rio de Janeiro and History, I wrote reports for sites like UOL, Punteiro Izquierdo, Sul21, The Intercept Brasil, Magazine of the Movement of the Homeless Workers and Greenpeace. I participated in coverage such as the Mariana dam disaster, the impeachment of Dilma Roussef in Brasília and the police violence in Rio. As a sports journalist, I was a producer, screenwriter and editor of TV and Internet series. In 2014, I scripted and edited the series Nem Tudo É Grenal, about Football History in Rio Grande do Sul. In 2019, I produced and edited a series In Search of America for Sport Club Internacional, which contains a history of football in cities where the club dispute the 2019 Libertadores de América. Recently, I have been developing videos on Virtual Reality technology, for immersive glasses in 360 degrees. I have already produced a video for Internacional and another for Flamengo's official stores - in this case, about the club's historic 2019 season, with the titles of the Brazilian National Championships and Libertadores. Since 2016, I have graduated in History at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro with special interest in the history of Rio de Janeiro and Brazil.
