about me
Brazilian/Dutch filmmaker and producer. My qualities are symbolism which is a language reserved for people who observe details and spirituality. Spirituality is nothing more than being conscious of who I am and what I do here on this planet. And as a filmmaker I am aware of the impacts that I can provoke in the contents that I make. These peculiarities make me a different person from the others. Not that I am better than the others. Absolutely not. Just other experiences that have shaped me as I am today.

Documentaries, film director and research in Brazil or South America.

remarks
symbolism is my greatest quality!
