Works

  • Third World California depicts the subhuman conditions experienced by undocumented immigrants living in "Duroville", a settlement largely composed of decrepit trailer homes and lacking basic infrastructure. Its location within the Torres-Martinez Indian Reservation in California's Colorado Desert exempts it from many federal and state laws, which allows some Torres-Martinez tribe members to profiteer from the situation of the undocumented workers, and to disregard environmental and safety regulations in force elsewhere. The film debuted in the 22nd Chicago Latino Film Festival in 2006.
  • The Music Tree A Árvore da Música (Brazilian title) features the plight of the brazilwood, the species of tree that gave Brazil its name, and whose unique deep red wood is used in the manufacture of bows for fine violins and similar instruments. Its current endangered status represents a serious threat to classical music worldwide, as there is no other material that can be used to make bows of comparable quality. The film screened in more than 22 film festivas around the world and Otavio Juliano received the Polly Krakora Award for artistry in film at the DC Environmental Film Festival. The film received awards on Portugal, Brazil and US. Joshua Bell, David Garret and Antonio Meneses perform on the film.
  • A film recounting the extreme danger free-diving Brazilian lobster fishermen expose themselves to on a daily basis.
  • A rockumentary about Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura (in production), to be released in 2015.
  • Brazilian TV series Exilio e Canções, hosted by Sérgio Britto Titãs, a TV Brasil/ Interface Filmes production.
  • Directed Music Videos for Sergio Britto (Titãs) and Rita Lee and many other music artists.
  • Video Designer with Interface Filmes/Luciana Ferraz for Theater and Broadway Musicals in Brazil, such as Chaplin, The Wizard Of Oz and Evita.
