born in Brazil, grew up in different regions of the country, from São Paulo, the metropolis, to Amazon, the forest. I was fortunate from the beginning, for having such rich sights to nurture my notions of time and space. I had a golden childhood, spending great amounts of time on my own, building castles of cushions, raising worlds of Lego, gardens of stones and tents of twigs. I had an endless curiosity about everything around me. At school I did a lot of fun things, I joined the choir for a couple of years, I did drama for almost four years in different places, founded the school radio with a group of colleagues and I was the youngest member of the Cine Club committee in a cultural center near home. By high-school time I got really into designing logos, doing layouts and fooling around with softwares, so I did a semester of graphic design on a technical school there. My academic life went well, to the point an opportunity for me to study abroad came about. So I went for it and by an act of got I was granted a full scholarship. I crossed the world to meet the orient through a giant bubble called Li Po Chun United World College of Hong Kong. Those were two of the most intense years of my life so far. That's where I met the most interesting people from all over. My routine was composed of nothing but random activities, from studying Japanese modern history, climbing mountains, dancing la cumbia with latinos, to finding myself in the realm of arts. I learned ceramics, experimented painting, digital photography and assembling three-dimensional art pieces. I had my first exhibition and produced my first play in collaboration with Drama and Music friends. There I made good friends and learned things for life. Next thing I got offered was a full ride at the Ringling College of Art and Design, where I originally applied as a Photography major, but ended up switching to Filmmaking, which is what I'm doing ever since.
