I am an award-winning filmmaker & entrepreneur, recognized as a pioneering force in the New Brazilian Popular Cinema movement. With a career spanning over a decade, I have made my mark through guerrilla filmmaking, directing, and producing films across 50 countries. In 2012, I founded the International House of Cinema (IHC), a production company known for its innovative approach to filmmaking, which later expanded to the United States. My feature debut, Neon Heart (2023), received critical acclaim, establishing me as a leading voice in contemporary Brazilian cinema. I’m particularly proud of the extensive campaign I created for my feature film Neon Heart. My unique approach to storytelling is rooted in my early experiences traveling the globe, capturing stories with limited resources, which culminated in my project Independent Roads (2012).
