Profile Information

My Work: I am currently working as a translator for Caxaluva Publications located in Rio de Janeiro Brazil. I have already completed one novel titled "Lunch with God", a magical realism piece that explores the personal account of an architect lost in his professional assumptions to find his redemption on a busy street corner in Downtown Rio.
I also work freelance as a camera operator and direct short films. My passion in film is intrinsic to my life experience growing up in a multicultural household colored by a large age gap and a series of bold risks I have been taking since the age of 17. Photography and music have been the catalyst for my practice in the world of filmmaking.

Cyber Interests: I am an avid publisher of all my photography and digital intermediate color grading online. I also publish some clips from my films and contribute to several blogs.

My Objectives: I have accumulated many experiences in my development as a filmmaker and
writer. My experiences range from earning a degree in Economics from San Francisco State University, the ability to speak 4 languages and an extensive range of life/work experience between the US and Brasil. I am passionate about what I do and am confident my pictorial rhetoric, combined with my writing skills and world view can contribute to a strong media team.

My Resources: I speak 4 languages: English, Portuguese, Arabic, Spanish. My background in Economics is a solid foundation to work creatively with prudent project management.
