TV Folha

Folha de S.Paulo  |  2014-17
TV Folha was one of the most innovative video departments in the Brazilian press, known for applying documentary aesthetics and storytelling to the fast-paced demands of daily journalism.

As a cinematographer and film editor there, I covered the events that shaped Brazil’s recent history: the 2014 World Cup, Brazil's general elections, the Rio 2016 Olympics, the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff, the politically contested conviction of Lula.

Alongside the political coverage, I reported on environmental stories with international reach: the Transamazônica Highway, illegal mining in the Amazon, Brazil's scientific research facilities in Antarctica, and more.

Here are some of my favorites films:


The old man and the sky: a telescope maker in Minas Gerais | editing


MC Beijinho: From the trunk of a police car to being the hit song of Salvador de Bahia's carnival | filming, editing, reportage



A 'war hospital' in Rio de Janeiro | filming, editing


The impeachment of former president Dilma Rousseff | filming, editing



The reality of illegal mining in the depths of Brazil | editing



Mundurucu people fight against the construction of a hydroelectric dam on the Tapajós River | editing



Lonely Hearts, the old-fashioned Tinder | editing
