ABOUT ME

I studied and graduated in Journalism and worked for decades in the film and television industry as a production manager and executive producer. I also worked as a press consultant for directors, films, film festivals and production companies.

In 2000, in Rio de Janeiro, I founded Toscographics with Allan Sieber, a production company specialised in 35 mm and 16 mm animated films, as well as animated content for TV Globo and MTV. Our work also extended to the production of fiction films and documentaries for ourselves and for third parties. In 2005, I directed my first feature documentary.

In 2012, I co-founded the International Women*Space e.V. and produced dozens of hours of video documentation about women and migration in Germany.. By 2022, I had edited three books, produced Podcasts and several events with IWS. The works produced during this period were funded by various foundations, including Mama Cash, Open Society, Umverteilen, Berliner Aids Hilfe, and Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung. In 2021, I interviewed women for the series "Kämpferinnen" as they spoken about migration, asylum, divided post-war Germany, the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG),the Berlin Wall and its fall, reunified Germany, capitalism, socialism, European borders, and the wars of the 20th and 21st centuries. 

Since 2020, I have been working as a cinematographer, photographer, and editor for various film projects and institutions, such as FHXB Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Museum, Bundeszuwanderungs- und Integrationsrat (BZI), Berlin University Alliance, among others.
