I'M AN EDITOR AND FILMMAKER.
 
I WAS BORN IN SÃO PAULO, LIVED IN PRAGUE AND CURRENTLY LIVE IN SP.

I HAVE A DEGREE IN CINEMA FROM FAAP, BRAZIL, AND A POST-GRADUATE DEGREE IN EDITING AND CREATIVE POST-PRODUCTION FROM FAMU INTERNATIONAL, CZECH REPUBLIC.

I ENTERED THE INDUSTRY IN 2016 AS AN INTERN IN THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT OF CANAL AZUL, A DOCUMENTARY PRODUCTION COMPANY.

IN THE SAME YEAR, I JOINED SPRAY FILMES AS COORDINATOR AND EDITOR OF THE YOUTUBE
CHANNEL OF DIRECTOR FERNANDO GROSTEIN ANDRADE, CREATOR OF THE HUB "QUEBRANDO O TABU" (BREAKING THE TABOO), ADDRESSING CONTROVERSIAL TOPICS IN THE FORM OF INTERVIEWS AND MINI-DOCS. IN 2018 I BECAME HIS ASSISTANT DIRECTOR AND DIRECTED THE 2ND UNIT OF A FEW DAILIES FROM THE FEATURE FILM "ABE" (SELECTED FOR THE 2019 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL AND SCREENED AT THE 43RD SÃO PAULO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL), DIRECTED BY FERNANDO GROSTEIN ANDRADE AND STARRING STARRING NOAH SCHNAPP AND SEU JORGE.

SINCE 2019 I'VE BEEN WORKING INDEPENDENTLY EXCLUSIVELY WITH EDITING AND POST-PRODUCTION ASSISTANCE. AS AN EDITOR, MY FIRST FEATURE FILM, DIRECTED BY BRUNO BARRETO,
WILL RELEASE IN 2024. IN 2023 I WON THE BEST EDITING AWARD AT THE PUPILA FILM FESTIVAL FOR MY SHORT FILM "FEIRA DA LADRA". AS AN ASSISTANT EDITOR, I SIGN SEVERAL SERIES FOR THE MAIN STREAMING PLATFORMS SUCH AS NETFLIX, STAR+ AND HBO MAX.

FOR ADVERTISING PROJECTS, I EXPLORE A DYNAMIC, FUN AND MULTIFUNCTIONAL LANGUAGE, ALWAYS IN CONTACT WITH CINEMATOGRAPHIC LANGUAGE. WHEN IT COMES TO CINEMA, I LET THE MATERIAL BREATHE AND TALK TO ME. I SEEK INTIMATE CONTACT WITH THE DIRECTOR IN ORDER TO CONVEY THE IDEA, ENERGY AND FEELING DESIRED.
