I am a Brazilian naturalized British born in the town of Aparecida, in the state of São Paulo. I am a self taught filmmaker whose projects combine naturalism and photo-realism. With a keen eye for composition and detail, I am adept at developing original concepts and seeing them through to fruition. When an original film project is in the making, no adversity can stand in my way as I do everything with boundless energy and enthusiasm. I was raised on quality sunshine in Brazil, dropping out of school in order to set up his own small advertising company at the age of 22. Five years later I decided to leave Brazil and travel the world seeking my European roots. Finally settling down in the UK, I studied photography, art, information technology and environmental science. After several years of experience in graphic design, event organization, radio production, online marketing and advertising, I directed a number of short films and created concepts for a series of short sci-fi/fantasy films. My inspiration stems from movies like Baraka, Chronos, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, The Matrix and Alien along with the directorial and narrative style of Quentin Tarantino. Having polished the craft of filmmaking at the Raindance Film School in London, I am now making my directorial debut with the groundbreaking feature-length documentary Earth 2.0 – thereby fulfilling a passion I always had for cinema since childhood. My goal is that Earth 2.0 will be the most memorable documentary ever made and will break all the rules of documentary filmmaking.

I am currently represented by Velatropa Films in the UK.
