Hello, we are Rafael Nantes Climente Almeida and Climene Almeida, a Brazilian-Bolivian duo of video editors based in São Paulo, Brazil, specialized in storytelling for films, series and content. In 2022 we teamed up as RompeCabezas, an edit house where our backgrounds in audiovisual, journalism, and content creation merge to deliver high-quality post-production services for the entertainment industry. Throughout our careers, we’ve worked with clients such as Globoplay, HBO Max, Disney+, Star+, Mercado Livre, VTEX, Facebook, Sony Music, Tigo, Thomson Reuters, the Judaic Museum of São Paulo, and the Rodrigo Mendes Institute, among others. From social media campaigns and branded content to documentaries, action series, and feature films, we share one common goal: to captivate audiences through EMOTION. With creativity, dedication, and a problem-solving approach, we meticulously craft rhythm and shape raw footage into meaningful, universal stories. To achieve the final cut, we ensure smooth communication—fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese—and maintain an efficient workflow while collaborating remotely with global teams. I’m Rafael (37), a Brazilian video editor with a bachelor in Audiovisual (specialized in Editing) from the University of São Paulo. Since 2012 I’ve edited short and featured films (fiction and documentary), television shows (comedy, biography, travel, branded content), social media, trailers, teasers, corporate videos... In short, I can handle all things that involve a story. I am Climene (35), a Bolivian-Brazilian video editor and content specialist, with a Social Communication degree and International Journalism specialization. I’ve created engaging narratives for media and multinational brands for over 14 years. Working with large global teams, multiple workflows, digital tools, creative processes, target audiences, cultures, and channels… is amazing!
