For the past few years I have been working towards my first feature, FRACTAIS TROPICAIS (Tropical fractals). I’m so excited to finally be sharing it with the world. It begins with a world premiere in the national competition at
@indielisboa in May. 🪴🚀
This film would not exist without so many wonderful people.
@ivoomuller and
@morangoazul who bring two very special characters to life.
@andrebohndf @fernandoosiqueiraa and
@pure.intervals who complete this beautiful ensemble of space travelers.
@paulo_carneiro_ alongside
@zaz_meister and
@shrine_maiden666 who formed the core team throughout—always encouraging, honest, and supportive. You helped me navigate this process in ways I cannot thank you enough for.
The Estate of Italo Calvino & The Wylie Agency (UK), for granting me permission to use a text from LE CITTÀ INVISIBILI. I am deeply honored and forever grateful!
The people who accompanied me on this journey are, without question, invaluable. I won’t be able to list everyone, but a special and profound thank you to friends, interlocutors, collaborators, and mentors:
@the_great_rudino Calum Walter
@riversbenfilm @mr.michaelrobinson @rajeesamarasinghe @dev_jie ,
@yunglilith @khadimdai @alexmichel.360 Nevo Shinaar, Andrew Kim, my family, and others not on social media — all of whom shared their time, thoughts, feelings, experiences, and wisdom at so many different stages throughout the years.
I must also mention the incredible institutional support from
@institutodocinemaeaudiovisual @galeria.mola @sundanceorg & Ignite Fellowship
@macdowell1907 @sdundergroundarts @indielisboa @calarts (
@calarts.filmvideo &
@calarts.alumni )
@kodak_shootfilm and
@fotokem_la , all that have supported the film in so many different capacities.
The film is out! It screens on May 7th at Cinema São Jorge & May 10th at Cinema Ideal.
More soon!
