As a film Director, please introduce yourself and let us know how you became involved in film production?

Leonardo: I was a Photographer since college, was a DJ for 15 years, then got back into photography and film, working in Production Houses

in São Paulo. Later on I went working in TV GLOBO, where I produced Big Brother Brasil for 3 years, Fear Factor Brasil (hipertensão)

and Survivor Brasil (No Limite). I’ve been directing segment Shows (Caldeirão do Huck, Amor & Sexo, Melhores Anos de nossas Vidas,

Tamanho Família) for 7 years now, but i’ve always been very passionate about films, watching a ton of them,

from Hitchcock to Richard Linklater, from Glauber Rocha to Truffaut, Orson Wells to Christopher Nolan.

Alexandre: I made my career working as an actor in a movie called Òdiquê ( Whatsup) that won best movie at the

New York Independent Film Festival (2004). I got my degree in Television and film at the FAAP (Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado).

In 2006, I started working as director assistant on Brazilian television, Record and Globo. I was enrolled in many “novelas”,

including Avenida Brasil, the most important “novela” in our country.

What sparked your interest in visual storytelling compared to writing stories?

Leonardo: I think it comes down to Hitchcock’s lesson: “Don’t tell me. Show me”.

I believe Visual Storytelling is very strong by it self, leaving to words only the very needed.

Alexandre: I do both. In my family, I have a mother and sister who are scriptwriters

and I grew up among scripts meetings, falling in love with dramas.
