The stories we live shape the stories we tell.
I was born in Brazil, where I grew up observing the contrasts of a country full of beauty, creativity, and inequality. At eighteen, I moved to Spain to study politics and economics, hoping to understand how society might become more just. Over time, I discovered cinema as another way to explore those questions — and to build empathy through stories.
My journey has taken me through different countries, cultures, and creative disciplines. Today, Toronto is home, and I work across filmmaking, storytelling, and music.
Life changes the lens.
Becoming a husband and father has changed how I understand time. So have difficult experiences, including facing cancer. They have reminded me that our days are precious, that love deserves our attention, and that creativity can become a way to connect with others.
Faith is central to the person I hope to be. More than anything, I want my work and my life to reflect compassion, humility, hope, and love.
Why I create.
I want to honour my time on Earth by creating stories that connect, inspire, and transform. Not because I have all the answers, but because I believe that sharing our humanity can help us see one another more clearly.
