Roberto began his career with the horror short film "Herdeiros do Solar the Usher" (1988), inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's novel "Fall of the House of Usher." This work is featured in Matteo Tortora's 2011 book, "80's The Gold Decade Of The Horror Movie." He directed two successful TV series for Globo TV in Brazil and later became the Artistic Director for the Cisneros TV Group in Miami. Roberto has earned numerous awards for his filmmaking both domestically and internationally. His creative inspiration largely stems from classic and fantastic horror stories, with his short films evoking the styles of Edgar Allan Poe, Guy de Maupassant, and André Gide. He excels in utilizing all aspects of film production—lighting, art direction, and soundtrack—to craft a distinctive dark style that deviates from mainstream cinema. His work has drawn comparisons to John Waters, Paul Morrissey, and Pedro Almodóvar. Roberto has developed several English-language co-productions for the US market. The film "RGB," an official selection at the 2005 New York Independent Film Festival, was a collaborative project involving directors from Brazil, Thailand, and Croatia, produced by Unique Entertainment. He directed "The Meeting," an English-language short film co-produced by Brazil and the US, which was an official selection at the 2010 Los Angeles Brazilian Film Festival and the 10th DeadCenter Film Festival in Oklahoma City. In 2011, he directed and produced "Noturno." His final feature film, "Anima Sola" (director/producer/writer), has garnered 53 awards at various festivals across the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Australia and was officially selected for 22 festivals worldwide between 2015 and 2021.
