Bio & Contact

Paula Fernandes de Castro
Founder and CEO
I started my academic journey at the esteemed School of Communication at UFRJ in Brazil before pursuing my master's degree in Digital Media and Cinema at Sorbonne Paris 1 in France.
My professional path has been intentionally varied, allowing me to engage with a diverse range of individuals and cultures across various industries. Along the way, I delved into international marketing, promoted films at the French Embassy, facilitated film financing at RioFilme, and contributed to the Varilux French Film Festival. My career also led me to ARTE France, where I had the honor of promoting a wide array of films from different parts of the world.
Motivated by these experiences, I founded my own company to introduce Brazilian films to global audiences and develop impactful new projects. My enthusiasm lies in connecting talented producers, distributors, and filmmakers from Portuguese-speaking countries with international opportunities, leveraging my network and comprehensive industry knowledge.
