"Oh, damn, my phone stopped working, I need a new one!" "That Spiderman movie sucked, how about we make a new one with a different cast and the same story!" "Sorry, I dropped one of your cups." "Don't worry, they cost $0.50 at Dollarama." "My computer is acting up. Well, it's already one and a half …

Yesterday I graduated from VFS for the second time, out of two classes in a row. This was the official graduation, when I got my diploma, while the first one was more important as a ceremony, being up there with the people which I worked side by side for almost the entire year. Each one of them was …
How the fuck do I take out those squiggly lines? If you ever worked with me - specially as a cinematographer, and that goes mainly for projects I developed in Brazil - there's a HUGE chance I lied to you. I apologize now, and before you hate me straight on, I ask you to read the remainder of this …
This piece was weird to write and I still don't feel like I expressed exactly what I wanted. You may ask "Why post it?", to which I'll reply "Why not?" Growing up, I never had much of a rebellious phase against my parents. They always backed me up. Not always approved, and never gave an "out of jail …
Recently I had a housing experience different from all my previous ones. I've lived alone for a long time, I've lived with my parents, with May, with my sister and, for a while, with random people. I had friends living with me, but their stay was temporary, and until then I had never experienced the …
I wake up in the middle of the night. I mean, I'm aware I'm home, lying on the bed and facing the pillow. It's been a weird night, waking up every ten minutes feeling cold, then warm, then cold again, maybe there's something wrong with this damn weather, maybe there's something wrong with me. …
That's what he said to me when I greeted him once I got out of the garage. The building we live in has a very strict rule about bikes. There are several signs on the front door: "No bikes through the Lobby". That leaves me with the garage as my only exit. Sometimes I go days without even taking a …
I was looking back the past couple of weeks and came to the conclusion I didn't get ANYTHING done in that time. Days seem to fly by and time rushes through every occasion. Then I started to pay more attention to how I was going about my days. Waking up at 9h30, seawall until around 10h30 or 11h, …
This is a subject that has been at the back of my head ever since I created my Instagram account and exploded during last week, while I posted my demo reel there. Then it bounced back with a thousand thoughts about what I write up here and the several times I considered turning this blog into …
Watching a good movie in bad company will never come close to be as entertaining as watching a bad movie in good company. That being said, avoid "We Are Your Friends", save your money for something better (which is easy)!
Every once in a while I write or say that my life seems to be a loop and never elaborate on that. Let's try that for today, and let me be specific about my creative process. The loop usually goes like this. It starts with an awful boring lack of will to start working on something new. This is what …
