Documentary filmmaker, editor, researcher, screenwriter, sound recordist.
Born in Natal in 1983 and raised in Bahia, I came to São Paulo in 2001 to study Audiovisual Production. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree from the University of São Paulo and have worked as an assistant director, sound recordist and editor over the last few years.
My experiences with the Cinemateca Brasileira’s movie collection and my taste for research have boosted one of my passions: archived images and projects that speak to memory and history.
Since 2012, I have worked mainly as a director for documentary projects, both made for TV and corporate, as well as an editor for several other projects, including fiction.
I directed four shorts, two of them aired in ESPN Brazil: "The Amazing Stories of a Ghost Ship" (doc, 26', 2015) and "Following the Line: the History of Ricardo Prado" (doc, 26', 2016). The films were screened in Brazil, Canada, Chile, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Sweden, in festivals such as It's All True, Hot Docs, FICVIÑA and FESTIn Lisboa.
I also directed the third season of a television series entitled "O Papel da Vida" ("The Role of a Lifetime"), which was aired in 2014 in the television channel Canal Brasil. And "Families", a documentary TV series screened at the Brazilian Public Television Network, including TV Cultura and Futura. It won the Prix Jeunesse Iberoamericano - 11 to 15 years, non-fiction.
"I'm Still Alive" is his first documentary feature. Released at the 25th CinePE in November 2021, it won the Best Director Award, Best Editor Award, Distribution Award and Special Mention.
I'm starting to produce a new television series for the Brazilian TV channel Arte1 and my second documentary feature.
