Bio

"City of God" is your first feature film, but you did other shorts. What was it like making your first feature? Actually, "City of God" is my second feature. I did a small independent feature three years ago as a rehearsal and was already working on the script for "City of God" and decided to take on this very low budget project just to learn how to do features. It was called "Maids." I started independent film production and then went to television, did independent television production for eight or nine years, then I moved to publicity and commercials for eight or nine years. I did a big series, 180 episodes of a children's show. After that, I did "Maids" and now "City of God."
