I am a Brazilian filmmaker living in Sydney, currently studying film, honing my voice, and sharing my stories with the world. I recently completed a documentary called Blackwater Woods, which is competing in festivals around the world.
I have a special interest in intimate and atmospheric narratives, inspired by filmmakers like Céline Sciamma and Wong Kar-wai. I have practical experience in video editing, sound, and storytelling, and I constantly work on personal and academic projects to refine my technique. Before filmmaking, I worked in administration, where I developed skills in organization, communication, and problem-solving, skills that I now apply to film production and collaborative environments. Currently, I am seeking opportunities in video editing, writing, and creative projects where I can grow, contribute, and tell meaningful stories.

Blackwater Woods is a short documentary that explores the life of Bruno, a Brazilian immigrant in Australia, and his journey of adaptation, memories, and personal challenges. The film seeks to capture the immigration experience in a sensitive and intimate way, highlighting themes of identity, belonging, and resilience. The narrative combines interviews, observations of daily life, and poetic visual moments, creating an emotional connection with the viewer.
As a writer, I developed the narrative and arc of the documentary, defining the sensitive approach to portray Bruno’s story authentically. As a director, I conducted the interviews, planned and supervised the filming, ensuring that each scene conveyed the desired emotion and context. As an editor, I selected, organized, and refined the raw material, creating a cohesive and impactful montage, including the integration of music, rhythm, and visual storytelling. Finally, as a producer, I organized logistics, filming planning, and resource coordination, ensuring that the project was completed on time and with professional quality. The result is a 24-minute documentary that combines sensitivity, engaging storytelling, and cinematic aesthetics, showcasing not only the story of an individual but also a broader reflection on the experience of living between two cultures.
Blackwater Woods is currently in the festival circuit.
