Discover Top Reporters / Journalist in Rio De Janeiro, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

I am a Brazilian documentarist based in both Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, having lived abroad in Belgium, India, Mexico and the US, thus being street smart and world wise. I also speak fluently English, French and Spanish (and a little bit of hindi). And some of my interests are social sciences, anthropology, ethnography, arts and psychoanalysis. Most of my work has to do with cultural identities, traditions, versions of facts and of history, personal narratives and memory. Please feel free to ask the link to my films, as I’ve created and directed the 13-episodes-series “Family Recipes” (À Moda da Casa, 2016), the feature “Old Man’s Cars” (Homem-Carro, 2014), the medium length “Bollywood Embodied, the people want cinema” (Corpo de Bollywood, 2007) and the upcoming short film “Visiting from Exile” (A Visita do Exílio, 2017). To story hunt is what I like to do. And I am glad that I can apply to do so in this network. Internet has proven to be generous for those who convey powerful and empowering narratives. It is a sort of comeback of old school investigative journalism, with a touch of cinematic experience in a completely new way to consume and share information. Sincerely I wish to make filmmaking - specially in the documentary field - more politically effective. At least this is what I plan to offer, with a lot of sensitivity towards others. Regarding my freelance experience, since I graduated from Film School* back in 2008, I have worked as assistant director in fiction for both TV and cinema. However, by 2012 I succeeded on migrating to documentary entirely. I mainly freelance as story producer and assistant director, but also as fixer and as a director, working for several companies in Brazil, such as Pindorama Filmes, Segunda-Feira Filmes, Gávea Filmes, República Pureza, CineGroup and Agência Click Isobar. I’d also worked for a French company once, L’Oeil Sauvage. C’était super! In a daily basis I am frequently asked to find stories and characters for Brazilian series like “What Tree Is That?”, “Big Cities”, “The Power of Sport”, “The Fountain of Youth” and “Help! My Children eat badly”. And also to bring up storylines and develop projects out from rough ideas and materials. Most directors I work with treasure my research abilities, creative skills and understanding of storytelling. I consider myself being very perceptive, making me a good listener and interviewer. Furthermore, I have built some filmography that can highlight my skills in directing and producing, so rest assured that I will deliver. * Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF), Social Communication, Cinema Studies

I am a freelance correspondent and fixer Latin America, based in Rio de Janeiro since July 2013. Before that I lived and worked as a journalist in Colombia from October 2002 till July 2013. Things I know a lot about are: the conflict and peacetalks in Colombia, the political and economic crisis in Venezuela, daily life in Rio, women's issues in Latin America, the Panama and Nicaragua Canal, and the economic woes here in Brazil, just to mention some examples. Dutch is my native tongue, but I express myself quite well in English and Spanish. My Portuguese is improving a lot. Rio de Janeiro still exists after the Olympics Games! One of the legacies of the Games is the improvement of the city's port area, the area where I'm living. In the colonial era Rio received more than a million slaves from Africa here. Their grandgrandchildren are still living in this area, that is also called Little Africa. Their black pride is increasing and this is one of the most interesting things that is happening in Rio at the moment. Racism has been considered a non issue in Brazil for a long time, but the ugly truth is that it is as strong as elsewhere in the world. In my neighborhood I want to research how blacks are dealing with this, what their answers are. If you're interested, you can contact me for interviews, reports, features, whatever you need. I'll be publishing stories here in my account as well.
