Biography

Rafael Leal is a screenwriter and producer for film, TV and new media, who has created films and series for Disney, NBC/Universal and Fox, among others, in partnership with some of the most important Brazilian production companies. Holding a PhD in Film and Media from Universidade Federal Fluminense (Brazil), Rafael developed part of his doctoral research at LMU München (Germany) with a DAAD grant, about virtual reality and games, formats that are growing in importance in his artistic practice. Between 2016 and 2022, Rafael was professor of Screenwriting at the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro, where he still advises the development of the new Screenwriting postgraduate program. Rafael acted as script doctor in dozens of projects of films, series and games, and mentored more than 250 screenwriters in labs such as FLUP - Feira Literária das Periferias, Gullane Narrativas Negras and recently at Netflix's Segundo Ato Program for New Black and Indigenous Voices. Rafael is co-creator and head-writer of "Passinho - the Rhythm of the Dream", his first original series for Disney+, produces his new VR project, a documentary game called "Privilege Game Show", and teaches independent workshops on Screenwriting at SRH University of Applied Sciences Berlin and Catalyst Institute for Creative Arts and Technology.
