ABC Awards Ceremony

Things are finally rolling with my Cinema class at FAAP. 4 screenplays were voted on and teams of students have been formed to begin Pre-production. I'm working as asn assistant producer and art director. This film I'm part of is entitled "Ele/Ela" "Him/Her". It is a short film about a young woman who plays a violin, and a young man who is a tap dancer. They live in the same apartment, the story follows their encounter through sounds. I'm very excited and so happy to be working with everyone in my group. Yesterday myself, the cinematographer and another assistant producer went to the prospective location, which is an apartment building in the old center of Sao Paulo. There we met with the owner of the apartment, and woman who was very interested in renting out her space for us. We anaylized the space and bargained with her until we got the price $R100 lower!


Last night my friend from FAAP. Marcel invited me to the ABC award ceremony and after party. The ABC comity is formed of Brazilian cinematographers, editors, and sound technichians. The ceremony recognizes Brazilian cinematographers, and it is the most imporant award ceremony for cinematographers in Brazil! I was very lucky to be able to go, it was very exciting. I met a lot of people that are very important in the Brazilian Cinema scene right now. I also got to meet on cinematographer who invited me on the set of a comercial shoot he is going to be apart of tonight at 8 pm. More to come!
