Has been active in Brazilian film criticism (Folha de S. Paulo, Kleber Mendonça Filho's Cinemascópio, Contracampo, Paisá) in the 1990s and early 2000s. Makes, in his own words, "garage cinema" and "phantom bedroom music" since 2007. Started for real with short "Planalto Rhonda". Then made 2 features in a row, "Os Pólos" and "A Princesa de Rangoon".
