About Me

I was born in Curitiba, Brazil. I will always be considered a Brazilian (they won't let you go) and so, I have dual citizenship. One day, I'll have an apartment in Rio de Janeiro... and life will be good.

Currently, I'm in Los Angeles trying to "make it" as a Writer/Director. Working on Reality TV keeps me afloat and I've also found that being a Camera Operator is pretty cool.

My Interests

Movies (addicted to Film Noir), Filmmaking, Reading, Travelling (I need to go to Brazil and Morocco - again!), Video games, Comic Books, Drawing, Painting, Music... which leads to my iPod, etc. etc. etc.
