FILM
Between 1988 and 1991 I studied at the Italian film school Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, in Rome. I studied Cinematography with the master of light in cinema Giuseppe Rotunno, for whom I was later assistant. The practical classes took place in the Cinecittá and De Paolis studios, where we learned to see, manipulate and capture light, assisted by a tecnical crew who also worked on great classics of Italian cinema. Later, I returned to Brazil and founded my own film prodction company Mares Produções to carry out my projects as Director, Producer, Cinematographer and Screenwriter.
