WHO AM I

I've been trying to answer this question for 30 years without much success, but I know what I do: I write.

 

I have a degree in audiovisual from USP, with an MFA in Dramatic Writing from NYU as a Fulbright/CAPES scholarship holder, where I received the Charles Purpura award for Excellence in Screenwriting.

 

I started my career as a curator and producer of film festivals at CINUSP and Cinemateca Brasileira, and cinephilia is a fundamental part of my trajectory. As a screenwriter, I participated in the second season of the series Irmandade (o2 Filmes/Netflix), developed projects for producers such as Rio Bravo Filmes, Coração da Selva, Camisa Listrada, o2 Filmes, worked in the development area of BottleCap Productions, an American production company by director Carlos Saldanha, and I am a screenwriter and co-creator of the series Clube Spelunca (Giros Filmes/Warner) scheduled to premiere in 2024 on TNT/HBO Max. I am currently part of the script room at the production company Café Royal, developing a series project for streaming.

I like walking a tightrope between different genres, especially comedy and drama. Family relationships and women in positions of power have a special place in my work, in addition to my much talked about and underpaid millennial generation.

I'm from São Paulo, born and raised in the glorious north of the capital, and in my spare time I dance classical ballet with little flexibility but a lot of heart.


ps.: I reserve the right to change my mind and write things that have nothing to do with any of the topics mentioned above!
