Paula Fernandes de Castro

Founder and CEO

I began my journey at the prestigious School of Communication at UFRJ in Brazil and later completed my master's in Digital Media and Cinema at Sorbonne Paris 1.

My career has been intentionally diverse, allowing me to connect with a rich tapestry of individuals and cultures across different fields. Along the way, I've ventured into international marketing, promoted films at the French Embassy, facilitated film financing at RioFilme and contributed to the Varilux French Film Festival. My journey also took me to ARTE France, where I had the privilege of promoting a diverse array of films from around the globe.

Inspired by these experiences, I've launched my own company to bring Brazilian films to audiences worldwide and produce compelling new projects. My passion lies in connecting talented Brazilian producers, distributors and filmmakers with global opportunities, utilizing my network and multifaceted industry insights.
