About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The idea is to die young as late as possible.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Brazil, grown in Japan, and I've lived in US for a while, travelled through europe, worked as a preschool teacher in a military base, as a photographer in Mexico, as an indie filmmaker in L.A. and Tokyo, etc... always in a kinda impulsive, adventurous, and unpredictable way hahahah
Well I appreciate beauty in simple things, and I'm attracted to the counter culture, the underground/hippie side of urban life, as well as historic sites and the countryside. I love eccentric food and exploring any kind of places... I also make indie films since I was 14.

PHILOSOPHY

"Imagine there's no countries, no possessions, no need for greed or hunger, and all the people sharing all the world" ;)
