    paper Revolusolar

    Filmmaker; writer, producer, director, camerawoman and editor on this short documentary about a grassroots project bringing solar energy to the favelas of Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro. Access to electricity is a daily struggle for many low-income communities in Brazil, despite abundant sources of renewable energy. In the neighbourhoods of Babilônia and Chapéu Mangueira, near the iconic golden sands of Rio’s Leme Beach, local NGO Revolusolar is working with residents to drive change in the places that need it most.

    paper Mongabay - Back to the forest

    Filmmaker, editor, script writer and camera woman on this short doc about Brown howler monkeys, which are endemic to the Atlantic Forest in Brazil and Argentina and became one of the 25 most threatened primate species following a yellow fever outbreak in late 2016. In response, Brazilian government agencies and other conservation organisations launched a nationwide population management plan, focused on coordinating captive facilities with experts who could relocate animals to areas where populations have vanished or declined.
