BIO I was born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1989 shortly after the end of a 20 year long dictatorship, the re-opening of Brazil to the outside world and to the imagination of its artists. During the nineteens, there was a boom of incredible and inventive Brazilian children tv-shows that shaped an entire generation. I grew up watching those tv shows and I believe that they inspired me to be a filmmaker and storyteller. I went on to be an undergrad literature student while I took an internship job on every available film crew. When I was ready to direct films, I wasn't surprised when I realized that I loved to work with stories that dealt with childhood, education, history, memory and imagination. Even when dealing with difficult subjects, I always try to combine these elements in my work: important social issues presented through poetic, imaginative stories.
