Rainmaker

<p>Born in Brazil in 1979, I have travelled and lived around the world guided by my curiosity. Along the way I learnt English, French, German, Portuguese, Spanish and currently learning Zulu.</p> <p>I wrapped my first feature documentary, "Jeppe on a Friday", a people-driven intimate story, portraying a contemporary Johannesburg neighborhood and its vast contradictions.</p> <p>I have several other projects in different stages of development or completed such as "Fatherhood" a factual series about a gay man who decides to become a dad, and "Pink and Green", a love story which takes place in Los Angeles with, as its backdrop, the political agenda of equality.</p> <p>After moving to South Africa in 2010 to pursue my Master's degree in Fine Arts I also formed a new production company: Urucu Media, based in Parkhurst, Johannesburg. Urucu's mandate is to develop economically viable films by telling moving stories that challenge, enchant, captivate and stimulate the audience.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
